Silverlight2 RC0 is out!

Rad Controls For Silverlight update is coming too.

 

Today Scott Guthrie announced the availability of the Release Candidate 0 of Microsoft Silverlight2 plugin. Read His post here.

 

A full coverage of what has been changed since the beta2 release is available on the Ashish Shetty blog.

 

For me one of the biggest changes is the availability of the SnapsToDevicePixels property .
Now our Silverlight applications will not look blurry anymore. Awesome!

 

The other important update for us are the improvements on the Accessibility and UI automation. We know how important the accessibility is for you - so, the news here is that all our controls will implement the UI automation and Accessibility interfaces for our Q3 release ( targeted for the begining of November ).

 

When will the RadControls for Silverlight get compatibility update to work with this RC?
We have been working closely with Microsoft Silverlight team on this RC release, and we are happy to tell you that we are pretty close on clearing all the issues and finalizing all new features.
We will be able to release an update at the beggining of next week, so you will have enough time to play with the new plugin and our controls until the official Silverlight2 release.

 

Wait - there is more! Telerik Silverlight release next week will include not only compatibility updates, but also two very important frameworks - Page Navigation and Drag and Drop 

I'm sure you are excited about these two, so keep you fingers crossed until next week.

May the source be with you!

Note that Silverlight 2 RC0 will have a new property called UseLayoutRounding, not SnapsToDevicePixels. -mark

Ops my fault on the property naming. Mark, thanks for the clarification!
