Orcas and Silverlight Alpha 1.1

06-02-2007 4:14 AM |

I've tried to work on a simple solution to get more experienced on the designer tools (Blend) and Silverlight with .Net C#.

My question/problem know:

When i start my project in Blend to define first some XAML Designs and User Controls and switch then to Orcas to program the controls their, then i've "another vs project type", as when i create my project in orcas first. What's not working for example is Debugging in this case. When i start my project in Orcas and create my user controls their first and open the project then in blend its not poss. to test the xaml files because of an MSBuild error (invalid format?). So my question: How is the correct workflow and the best steps to create a silverlight app not running in those probelms?

any help is well appreciated :) Thanks

My best luck has been creating the project in Orcas and updating Blend to allow it to build Orcas projects, you can see the details here:

If you have created the project in Blend, and want to get it updated to work well in Orcas, I suggest creating a sample Orcas project and go through the project files in a text editor and find the differences, if I remember correctly there were 2 or 3 changes I had to make to get the project right.
