Breaking Changes
Part of the challenge in working with Beta software is dealing with breaking changes. There are, of course, several breaking changes with this release of Silverlight. There is a document posted on the Silverlight site that describes them all, so be sure to check it out, unless you’re one of those types that like surprises…
