Upgrade API 3.0

My program upgrade from api 2.4 to api 3.0,but I can't find "toolbar" in api 3.0. How can I handle?

Thanks!

as you can read in this thread:

The toolbar control has been removeed from version 3.0.

You can still start with the 2.4 sample but we have to replace the toolbar control with your own control (that might be as simple as a StackPanel with Buttons inside).

The handlers behind the buttons should still work.

I've chimed in on forum posts before about this before....  Bad move, Esri.  Many of us have built Apps that utilize one or more toolbar controls.  I get it - It's not part of the "core" functionality, but now we have to reinvent the wheel.  Ya, we can download the SDK off of CodePlex, but this comes at the cost of bloating our .XAP.  We can "rebuild" a toolbar using a stackpanel and buttons/images/etc. But, there's the keyword - "rebuild".  Other depreciated controls like the scalebar were replaced with an alternative (scale line).  Not the case with the Toolbar.

Why give-ith if your are going to take-ith away?

Here's an idea, Esri:  how about a blog post on how to migrate from the Toolbar control to your own, custom control?

Just my $0.02.

Why even "take-ith" away?  What I really need is the print feature in 3.0.  And while I know I could implement the navigation feature if I upgraded to 3.0, my end users freak out every time I make the slightest change to the interface.  I get all kinds of phone calls and email complaints. 

Taking away the toolbar is like taking away AM radio.  It still works and people use it, just leave it alone.
