Hmm, with so much additions in SL 2.0, will it increase the size of the download significantly?

Currently it's already 10MB. If it's going to increase until 20MB or more, that is going to be another major issue.

Regards,

James.

What is being done to allow indexing of SL apps/sites by search engines?

Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

Bob, how will sl 2.0 be integrated into an ASP.NET Web application? Will it become the front-end of the application?

Hi Dean. The Silverlight plug-in is browser based, that is it runs on the client in the browser. You can serve up a page from ASP.NET that leverages Silverlight in the browser. It is up to you what percentage of your user interface you want to implement using Silverlight vs HTML. You are in control of that decision. We are coming out with controls for ASP.NET that make it straight forward to add Silverlight capbilities to your applications. Check out the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions (http://quickstarts.asp.net/3-5-extensions/silverlight/default.aspx)

This is for Tim Misra: Indexing of Silverlight by search engine spiders is possible since XAML is text based. Tags can be placed into the XAML.

Any support for WCF in Silverlight 2.0?

Bob, the first beta is out and many of the items you mention in the header of the blog are not there (i.e. combobox, tab, etc.).

Can you comment on whether these are still slated for inclusion?

WCF is supported in Silverlight 2.0. You can easily generate proxies to WCF end points with the 'Add a Service Referece...'. Cross Domain calls are also supported with an Opt-In mode. You can add a policy file to the root domain of a service site to open up end poitns to cross domain calls. In addition there is a simple HTTP Request/Response capability using the WebClient class. This is how you can do RSS, POX and JSON calls.

re: Missing Controls

Well the final list has not been announced but I agree there was a mismatch between what was announced and what showed up in the SL Beta 2. Check out this site for some details on the controls that are in the beta:
