    Silverlight don't like Spanish!!! (part three)

    Sep 09, 2008 08:44 AM | LINK

    Yet another post for this anti-spanish Silverlight complot!!! [:)]

    The problem is, another time, with the TextBox control. It don't accept accent chars, like "áéióúàèìòùäëïöü"...

    With this trouble it's impossible to type correct text in spanish or any language that uses accents.

    I hope RTM versión solve this spanish troubles!

    What's a "complot"?  You seem angry so its not likely to be good, but I am curious.

    I'm not angry or dissapoined in any way. It's only a joke.

    Sorry, My English is so bad, and I don't want to create any false speculations!. I love Silevrlight (and this isn't a joke), and I use in two different projects.

    The word "complot" I think is "plot" or "conspiracy". I know there isn't an anti-spanish conspiracy. And I want to send a message of support and congratulations to the Silverlight developer team for keep their good job (this isn't a joke).

    Sorry for my bad English!

    Un saludo!

    Is not a complot, but it's a very bad bug, actually I'm using Flex only because this problem, only works for English keyboard...too bad.

    I'm having a lot of trouble with this to. With a swedish keyboard there's a bunch of characters you can't type, including @ which of course is a major problem!

    Sure, it's not hard to implement code to be able to write an @ with a swedish keyboard. But what happens when someone that has yet another keyboard layout have to use my application?

    This really needs to be addressed! I found this problem in Beta 1, but I was sure it would be fixed in Beta 2. I was really dissapointed when it wasn't...

    Can anyone at Microsoft tell us whether this will be fixed in the RTM? It's a really important question, and I really hope someone can give me a real answer.

    It's stuff like this that makes Silverlight seem bad compared to Flash/Flex. Sure Flash has some features that I'd like to have, but most of them I can live without. This however, is a really basic thing, something we shouldn't have to worry about! I really prefer to be working with Silverlight, but this little missing feature may stop me in comming projects... [:(]

    I think they are planning to rename Silverlight to "American Silverlight" [:)]
