I've been playing with this sample http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#OrderByFieldQuery and i'd like to know where the code for the Options button is coming from.  Is it possible to access the properties of this button to customize it? I've looked at the C# code but I'm still not sure exactlly how this button is designed. Also, where is the design of the entire object coming from (see image below). I'm not a programmer so appologize if this is a stupid question.

That is part of the featuredatagrid.  The featuredatagrid is part of the toolkit you can download -source code and all - from http://esrisilverlight.codeplex.com/

Great, thank you.  It looks like the FeatureDataGrid has default properties that give it a certian look.  Is there a way to access the user controls for this control without using Expression Blend (I'm using VS2010)? From the little experience that I have with Expression Blend, you simply select the control in the design window and the xaml code is made available.

Since it's not a User Control, you'll need Blend to be able to edit its Control Template template *if* you want to utilize the [sort of]WYSIWYG.  But you can also specify a Control Template it in XAML right in Visual Studio.  I know I'm probably in the minority, but I find Blend to be one of the least intuitive pieces of software ever written (and i never hyperbolize!  ever!).  I do my template creation/editing right in VS anyway.
