Note: When you try to open the Silverlight.chm file you may get an error that the pages cannot be displayed. Right-click on the file and select properties. Then click the unblock button. Now when you open it the pages will display.

Just downloaded Silverlight 2 beta runtime. The DataGrid sample page works fine on IE. But not on Firefox. Anybody knows why?

No probs at all coolio :-D Let's hope they release the Design Tools quick smart eh! I'll be dissapointed if they're not released by the time they start the keynote today, or at least define when they will be released in the Keynote...

I'll definitely be streaming that at 5.30 GMT :-D

PGallagher69: thanks for the heads up. I've updated the original post

Re: Silverlight 2 Beta 1 has arrived!

Interesting, installing this broke my site, it also screwed up my development environment of course. Wrong version of vs2008 now for this release of Silverlight, so coudn't build my project due to a plethora of errors.

So, for now, I've uninstalled it, and will wait for the tools to be released... hopefully later today! :-D

Can't wait!
