Compat Note: Silverlight Beta 2 Client & .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Server Components

Mike, thank you for the info.

Once you update the client side for this SP1, can you tell us what [critical] features are still pending for SL RTW?

Would you be able to give us some updated docs and samples, particularly on the client side how to get started? A couple of videos would be helpful.

Will the two-way binding be completed for the next update (before RTW)?

Thanks!

..Ben

Ben - Two way binding in SL works in Beta 2. Not sure what you mean by that...

Hi Shawn;

The following is from your recent blog on SL and Astoria:

-----------

"Currently the Data Contract objects do not support INotifyPropertyChanged or INotifyCollectionChanged so data binding may be affected in some cases.There are partial methods for detecting changes to specific properties which makes implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged interface trivial, but not quick. Future versions (e.g. post-RTM) will give us better control over the generation of the data contract classes."

---------------

Wouldn't the above problem affect the two-way data binding?

Thanks to Ben for raising this question. I too would like to know whether the generated client will support change tracking.

Without it, updating data from a bound DataGrid is pretty tricky!

Thanks, Jason

We took a POCO based approach in V1, so the classes are very light weight and do not implement binding interfaces directly. This (better binding support) is something we want to add, but it just did not fit into our V1 timeframe. Thanks for the feedback.

I can attest that it DOES NOT WORK. Thank god I had a backup of my environment. I would have been toast. I tried for hours to only give up and revert. I am an ISV building demo clients in an attemt to support the 2.0 release with production apps and that sucked. I was days away from a big demo and I made the mistake of upgrading. Now I get to wait untill.... Oh well, my fault for trying to support MS's newest platform.

Why is this such a pain? — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:50:26 GMT

Why the heck wouldn't you make sure that it's compatible with the SP1 release???? That is just crazy to me, and is really starting to make me question the stability and sanity of the Microsoft development teams who are working on this stuff.

I've wasted my entire morning trying to build a demo so that I can convince our clients to go with Silverlight. Well, I'm no longer convinced. How many of these stupid - Well this dosen't work anymore bla bla things are we going to come accross?

With the amount of bugs, and "planned features" that I see comming, I'm thinking that I'm going to have to wait for Silverlight 2 SP1 before we can count on the platform at all.
