I am trying to get airborne here, and am having problems viewing and even building my project. I have VS2008 running on XP and have the 3.5 framework loaded. I am using IIS on my XP machine to run my web project. I also installed Silverlight controls beta as well as the Silverlight 2.5 March preview. I have a web project and have created an additional 2.5 project called WFPBlend test. I loaded the Data.dll control and did get a variety of additional controls, but no data grid. There was a grid control so I loaded that instead.
Here are my problems:
I am just trying to begin this process of understanding what Silverlight brings to the table, and maybe I am doing something wrong here. Given my error messages, is there a simple fix, or am I too new to this and am making mistakes that make no sense.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Are you creating a "Silverlight Application"?
The Silverlight assemblies run on their own version of the CLR/.NET Framework. They won't work in ASP.NET, WPF or console apps.

Shawn,
Thanks for getting to my question. I thought you could create a Silverlight project of controls and then run them in a web application? I thought that was what WFP was.
Most of my work is on the web side, is there something just for web? I have been reading through various posts, and because of so many different versions, I think I am missing something.

Hi:
You should create SilverLight 2 Application project.
In Blend:
File->New Project->Select SilverLight 2 Application->OK
SilverLight project is created. You can right click the Solution, click "Edit in Vistual Studio" to open it in vistual studio. Then add a new web site in the same solution and link the SilverLight project to it. As a developer instead of a designer, I personally prefer to create SilverLight project in Vistual Studio.
You can refer to our tutorial to get started:

Basically SilverLight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-device browser plugin which can help to build RIA(Rich Internet Application).
