It shouldn't surprise my readers to know that we have a DatePicker and a Calendar. :) And yes, I am the PM for those features. So for those of you who are sick of using my Silverlight 1.1 Calendar/DatePicker. Pick up the latest Silverlight 2 Beta 1!

    Kudos on the release! I realize this is a beta, and you're probably already aware of this... I've noticed some control rendering anomalies.  For example, in Visual Studio 2008, during design-time, the control looks fine.  However, at run-time it appears fuzzy, as if the anti-aliasing is off.  Once I run the web app, the rendering is off is VS08 design mode as well. Here's a comparison: http://www.ejstembler.com/images/comparison.png. Zooming in, you'll noticed the differences if it's not apparent at 100%. In any case, anti-aliasing notwithstanding, the controls are a great improvement over what was originally available.  And, I'm positive the issues will be eventually resolved.

    Could someone at MS port these over to WPF from Silverlight? Why don't we have a native Calender, Datepicker and Datagrid in WPF but we do in Silverlight!

    Hi Edward, Thanks for letting me know about the anomalies. :) This is indeed a Beta, but it is still good to know when our customers run into issues. I have notified the VS team about the anomaly you are seeing. Thanks, Kathy

    Kathy, you are using four images in this project. I see them as part of the clientbin for runtime, but I don't see them as part of the design package. Therefore when I compile the solution, I don't see any of those four images throught the project, i.e. the image control page shows empty. So, is there a problem or did you forget to include the four image as part of SL project? Thanks and looking forward to your answer! ..Ben

    Hi Ben, Thanks for letting me know. The four images are located in the client bin of the web app. Once you compile it, you should run it via the web app. Thanks, Kathy
