The quality of MS dev products goes down with each release :(. I've installed Silverlight Beta2 and now VS2008 Professional crashes *every time* I open *any* Silverlight project.

On another computer I've installed VS2008 SP1 and now I *cannot* open *any* Silverlight project - I get "Project is not supported by this version of VS ...".

What's going on with y ou guys ?

Keep in mind this is a beta, not a real "release" so I don't think your comment is entirely fair.

That said, hop on over to Silverlight.net and post your question in the getting started forum there. There are tons of people available and willing to help you out. We're all excited about Silverlight and all in it together.

Yes, I know, and maybe I have "overreacted". I am

sorry and I appologize.

But *the fact* is that the current release is broken.

I was really excited seeing this release but now I am

really disapointed.

To install Silverlight Tools for VS2008 I had to uninstall

ENU (KB949325), otherwise I got 0x80070643 error.

Fortunately guys commenting on Scott's blog were

smart enough to discover this.

But it could be a minor problem if VS would not

crash *every* time I open and close Silverlight

project. Now it is a real showstopper. I cannot

proceed with my development. And I don't know

if I can revert to Beta1 to be able to continue my

work.

Beta means no more and no less than beta. But

I would at least expect that Beta2 is better than Beta1.

Please post over on Silverlight.net. Lots of folks have the beta running on their machines (me included) without issues. Lots of other folks have run into various issues which we've helped address.

The authentication example you posted is really cool and works like a charm on the client side, but what about the server side? If I make a call to a web service on the same server with which I authenticated, how can I tell from within that service which user is making the call?

Ozzy - THe great thing about this support is that it leverages the existing ASP.NET provider model that is very mature. http://wiki.asp.net/page.aspx/275/provider-model

Yes I understand, but here's the problem I am having: If you authenticate using your method and call the web service (an ASP.NET proxy service, not WCF), the current user reported by the Membership API is null. Also, since the cookie is not passed on the call, there is no HTTP context from which to get the authenticated user. However, if you redirect to an login.aspx page for doing a normal ASP.NET login, you can get the current user by either of those two methods.

I have seen an example where there is a way to pass the cookie using ADO.NET Data Services, but that will not work in SL since the required interfaces are not exposed.

Is there a way to do this in SL?

Hi , i still can get this beta2 code for the sample, can u fix it brad?

i don't know if it helps, but in my app in beta1 i use de default asp login and then i pass if the user is authenicated, username and password, by parameter of the silverlight app, then in silverlight app.cs i do

string utilizador = e.InitParams["user"]

then i use that and the service of profile and membership in the silverlight app with no problem.

Interesting technique by translating controls on and off the screen based on a state transition.

But just because a control is no longer in visual range, surely it could still be accessed via keyboard shortcuts and tabbing etc...

In the case of some controls being made "non-visual" based on not being logged in, or not having the right permission - this could be a security problem. I would also disable the control as part of the state change...

Ian.
