Do custom controls in Silverlight 4 need to be in separate DLL's?

Yes you can create multiple controls in the same project, you simply have to place the all the default templates in a single /themes/generic. Xaml file. Each controls template is identified by the TargetType .

So your generic. Xaml file would look something like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
