We make use of the AppStylist utility to create consistent styles when creating WinForms apps. Is there a similar component for the Silverlight 3 components?
The grid seems to have much of the functionality we need (such as grouping/filtering) to move to Silverlight. I know Silverlight is inherently styleable and so are the Infragistic WinForms components. What helped is that AppStylist makes it fairly easy to apply and see the effect of a style across many components rather than have to figure out the setting for each style element.
I would start be looking through the Designers Guides that are included in our documentation:
http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/Silverlight/2009.1/CLR3.5/html/SL_Designers_Guide.html
There is a topic for each control there that includes diagrams that show the styling points included in each control.

Are you able to point me to any documentation targeting upgraders which can help make the port of styles from one environment to the other less of a hit and miss/trial and error process?
The components used to create UltraWinGrid (row, cell, group by, drop downs, scollers, etc.) have a ton of style roles and state properties that presumably have equivalents in XamGrid though with different names. A "map" may help the task of converting .isl files to equivalent style resources and maybe even make it possible to automate some of the task.
Its not something we currently offer but we definitely are looking at ways that we can help you guys style Silverlight apps.
