I need to create a dashboard with re-arrangeable/re-positionable dashboard elements (similar to iGoogle) using Silverlight. The dashboard elements are typically tables of data. The user should be able to dynamically add and remove dashboard elements. The user should also be able to use drag and drop to reposition the dashboard elements.

I've been looking around for Silverlight controls which I can reuse but haven't found any yet. Any ideas? Or do I have to roll my own?

A: 

Infragistics xamWebTileView for Silverlight might be what you are looking for.

CHeck this out - we are looking at SilverLight with a lot of interest as far as our future development - http://mightymeaty.members.winisp.net/blacklight.silverlight/

We have used the blacklight solution suggested by bruce. It is good but fairly limited. Support is also quite poor - this is a free control after all!!

Would suggest you take a serious look at the tile control from Telerik too: http://www.telerik.com/products/silverlight/tileview.aspx and http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/beta/#TileView/FirstLook

If silverlight is not a must you can try a widget & dashboard framework from Kalitte. More info can be found at www.dynamicdashboards.net.
