Hi All in the know.
Do we know whether the impending VS2008 SP1 will include the Silverlight 2.0 release
or will break existing development as the vs2008 sp1 beta did?
I know I speak for a lot of developers here in asking these questions in advance of finding
out the hard way.
A little warning may save a lot of heart ache.
Thanks
Martintr

Well the SP1 Beta definitely caused problems for me, and I had to take it out. In addition, I don't want to install SQL Server 2008 just yet since it requires Visual Studio 2008 SP1 RTM which hopefully will be out on Aug 11, just a few days from now. As to whether the RTM version of VS2008 SP1 will play nice with Silverlight, I'd be very surprised and unhappy if it doesn't, since the kind folks at Redmond are very much aware of these issues and have had plenty of time to fix and test them.

I installed .Net 3.5 SP1 from the SQL2008 RTM and it played nice enought till I tried some of the ADO Data Services
SaveChanges calls I was working on and had a on page error with Silverlight at that point.
All I really wanted to do here was ascertain safety of Upgrade to the services packs when they are released.
I know there are no sure things in this life but I would love to see one here.

VS 2008 SP1 will be accompanied by a new Silverlight Tools Beta 2 chainer. The new chainer will have the patch for VS SP1 RTM, and SP1 beta will no longer be supported at that point.
The final Silverlight 2 release is still a ways off.

Can I just express my gratitued for some forth right information that at least allows us to plan going forward.
It has been a real guessing game lately and I know developers have to keep managers informed and the old but
Microsoft are not say yet has been wearing thin.
So again thanks.
