Dropdown menu in SL3

Description

 
Hi,

SL3 currently implements navigation framework around "buttons" (Famous Home and About Buttons you get by default while creating navigation app).

Since Business Applications involve more that just Home and About options, just using Buttons will not cover all the functionalities. Space available on main screen will not be able to cover so many buttons besides it will look too ugly. Traditionaly in business apps, we have a "main" menu which includes further submenus, which are shown once you click the main menu. Some of the really good examples of such drop-down menu functionality are the "Popular" tab on the site http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/#. Even Silverlight.net site itself employs this concept very well in the form of "Micosoft Communities" tab on top-left corner of any page.

What are the options/ways available to implement such drop-down menu in SL3?

Thanks,
Mahesh.

Yes, I agree, this is something I am interested in seeing resolved in a simple to use way.
