Complete Silverlight 2 Beta 1 documentation is here

03-04-2008 7:08 PM |

The complete Silverlight 2 Beta 1 SDK documentation is now available on the MSDN library: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb404700.aspx.

Woohoooo, there is a lot of information to digest.

Still no sign of the actual SDK, but I expect it any minute now.

There are some samples as well with actual XAP packages. See also: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/Silverlight/Silverlight_Next/appmodel/ApplicationRootVisual/clientbin/testpage.html

Won't run though, the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 runtime setup page is not in place yet.

Great find.  I guess I will not see daylight for a few days.

Great find. Thanks for the tip.

 I think I will create a .chm help file now about SL2 Beta 1 SDK for offline reading, just have to use PackageThis available on CodePlex.

I wish they would just release it. At the 2008 Wave Launch event here in South Africa they announced that a major Silverlight 2 announcement would come out on Tuesday the 4th of March, yesterday. I haven't seen this announcement yet. :(

This page now takes you to the 2.0 beta 1 download: http://silverlight.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/6/6/3/663404e9-990d-4b74-873c-c4611aea2133/Silverlight.2.0.exe

Seems to install ok (about version shown as Version: 2.0.30226.2) but I get the following error when going to the above (testpage.html url): InitializeError - Failed to load pre-requitesites for the application
