Silverlight 5 RC available for developers

It conflicts with Async CTP (SP1 Refresh) if you're using that:

Error 9 The type 'System.Threading.Tasks.TaskCompletionSource<TResult>' exists in both 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio Async CTP\Samples\AsyncCtpLibrary_Silverlight.dll' and 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\Silverlight\v5.0\mscorlib.dll'

What it means In-browser trusted apps ?
Can you please explain more ?

Very exciting. We have an existing SL4 app that we would want to upgrade. Does anyone know if there is there an article anywhere that explains the best way of us developer's exploring the facilities of SL5 without compromising our regular current releases of SL4 apps? Basically I want to be able to install SL5 side by side with SL4 and try its feature set out without 'breaking' our existing app for our end-user. Thanks

Hi Tim,
Does this release include the WS trust support omitted from the previous sl5 release?
Thanks!

I don't read anything about pixel snapping. Does text finally look sharp and crisp now as they have promised?

This breaks a lot of 3rd party controls like Telerik which worked with the beta version.

It seems to have a real issue with setting anything that exposes content:

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred
Message=Set property 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content' threw an exception. [Line: 15 Position: 33]

YAY! the most awaited In-Browser Trusted Applications, Thanks for the cool update!

Nice Work! Thanks

Would you happen to know where we can get a list of breaking changes? It looks like quite a few things changed in the XNA realm (from Beta to RC) and the 'updated' MSDN documentation is still out of date.

I upgraded my SDK bits and now I'm running into vague XNA exceptions that run counter to the documented behavor.

Tim,

This sounds great! How can I view a list of all issues/changes/work orders included in Silverlight 5 RC?

Hi,

I tried to create a SilverLight Application using Silverlight 5 RC Client.But as specified "64-bit support for the plugin" is still not available with it.
I tried to run using IE 64 bit but it does not allow me view so.

does any one tried with it?
Please add some comments if any one do so.

Thanks,

Hello,
I hope you can help me with something. First, will NetFlix work using Silverlight 5? Here`s the big problem I am having. Do you know of a program by "Fender" called "FUSE"? It`s used with my "Fender Mustang" guitar Amp by connecting the Amp to computer via USB. Fender support says it is suppose to run using "Silverlight v4", but so far it wont. I can only get it to open/load with Silverlight v5. I am using Windows XP Professional, and it meets all system requirements for the "FUSE" program. If I can only run Fender Fuse with silverlight 5. Is there any way to get "NetFlix" to work with silverlight 5 also? Or would you have any suggestions on how to make the Fender Fuse work with silverlight 4?

I am only asking because, I know (Fender Fuse) was designed to run specifically with Windows Vista and Win 7. So I believe that Microsoft may have been involved in the development of this "Fender Fuse" software. I would just like to find a way where I don`t have to switch silverlight versions back and forth in order to use the FUSE program with v5, and NetFlix with v4?

This has been frustrating and is all new to me, (trying to get "Fender Fuse" and "NetFlix" to both run with the same version of Silverlight. I appreciate any help, thank you.
