Silverlight 2 Release Candidate Available

  • Artikel

We've released RC0 of Silverlight 2. This is intended as a developer only release - neither the Silverlight 1 nor Silverlight 2 Beta 2 plug-in will auto-update to this release. This is an opportunity to test your Silverlight 2 applications against RC0 to ensure they will be ready for final release. There is also a preview of SP1 for Expression Blend which targets Silverlight 2 RC0.

There is a full list of breaking changes between B2 and RC0, I've pulled out the contents list below as a summary:

  • Important! Migrating Older Code to the Newer Release
  • ContentPresenter now derives from FrameworkElement instead of Control
  • Layout Rendering Slightly Changed
  • Cross domain hosts of Silverlight must set the right MIME type for XAP (application/x-silverlight-app)
