For all friends of multi-touch capabilities Silverlight 3 has a build in support for multi-touch.
However, to support it, your app has to be running on Windows 7. For this reason it will be quite difficult provide interoperable SL-applications for different platforms.
On the other side, If I design Windows 7 application, in most cases, I would probably think to build it on WPF rather than on SIlverlight. If I need support for multiple platforms then my application cannot rely on features of Windows 7 only.
So, whatever the future brings on the table, following code demonstrate how you can provide support for multi-touch within Silverligth 3.
Note, that you have to have devices which support this technology if you want to be able to set the breakpoint inside of handler. If you don’t have them, the code will compile and run.

{
TouchPointCollection points = e.GetTouchPoints(null);
TouchPoint point = e.GetPrimaryTouchPoint(null);
if (point != null)
{
if (point.Action == TouchAction.Down)
e.SuspendMousePromotionUntilTouchUp();
Point p = point.Position;
switch (point.Action)
{
case TouchAction.Move:
break;
case TouchAction.Down:
break;
case TouchAction.Up:
break;
