Event and Data Triggers
I swiched from WPF to Silverlight, i heard that WPF & SL are same, but some of the key changes or can say missing parts such as Event and Data Triggers, class hierarchy are really some time annoying to understand. It will be great if we have Silverlight totally web based WPF. Hope Microsoft silverlight team is progressing in the same direction for standardizing this thing.

Better support for images inRichtextbox
In SL4 it is hard to find the location of an image in the text (between which words). If images and text would be more equal citizens of a RichtTextBox, manipulations would be easier.
Builtin support for clipboard use by images would also be nice, though a workaround is not that hard.

backgroundcolor for TextPointer in richTextBox problem
I am able to set the foregroundproperty for those TextPointer in the richTextBox but I cant find any property for the backgroundcolor.
How is it possible to set the background for this selected area in the richTextBox?TextPointer currentpointer = richTextBox1.Selection.Start; TextPointer tmp1 = currentpointer, tmp2 = currentpointer; tmp1 = tmp1.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Backward); tmp1 = tmp1.GetNextInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Backward); richTextBox1.Selection.Select(tmp1, tmp2); richTextBox1.Selection.ApplyPropertyValue(Run.ForegroundProperty, Colors.Red);

XNA Silverlight Control
Similar to the WinFormsHost control in WPF, please make a XnaHost control for Silverlight. This would allow for EASY integration of XNA within Silverlight. The key idea is to be able to use Silverlight for the 2D user interface development.

Implement MidpointRounding in Math.Round
Currently only Bankers rounding is supported in Silverlight. Both MidpointRounding models of rounding (in core CLR) are desirable so that when calculations which are displayed (along w/ supporting data) are reproducible w/ Excel etc.

Change TextBox Foreground in ControlTemplate
Make it possible to change TextBox Foreground value in ControlTemplate's elements like DisabledVisualElement or ReadOnlyVisualElement. It is not possible because " VisualState inside Template can only set element property defined inside Template".
Or will Silverlight 5 and RelativeSource binding's FindAncestor mode make this possible?

Relative margins based on FontSize
Consider a control that looks like a yardstick or ruler. There's a bunch of tick marks with numbers underneath, and the ticks are centered to the tick mark. The control's bounds need to include the text, which means you need a margin on the tick marks themselves that changes size depending on the FontSize. There are multiple other controls I've built where such "relative margins" are very necessary.
