Introduction

If you've worked with ASP.NET AJAX and used the AJAX control toolkit, you may have noticed the Accordion control. This control provides an expandable and collapsible view of accordion panels within the accordion control. By clicking on the header expands or collapses that accordion panel. It's also possible to bind data to the Accordion control in ASP.NET, a subject I've written about before on this site.

The Silverlight Accordion works similarly. This container provides a default interface to show/hide the accordion's content. The control can be bound to, creating repeatable AccordionItems to create the Accordion user interface. We'll examine all of this in this article.
