Andrea Boschin has put together a really cool SilverLight control that essentially just produces a drop area which files can be dragged onto from windows explorer and will be automatically uploaded to the web server.
Its really simple in terms of the functionality that is presented to the user, but extremely useful. The main event being you can select multiple files at the same time and drag them onto the control instead of having to hit browse, navigate to the file and click open, rinse and repeat.
You can find it here:

Unfortunately there is no hosted demo of the tool but the full source code is available for download and simply needs you to press debug in VS 2010 to get it working.
