Silverlight 2 Release Candidate 0 Released

Microsoft Silverlight The wait is over!  Microsoft has released the first Release Candidate for Silverlight 2.0.  The full version number is 2.0.30523.9.  The version that will be released as Silverlight 2.0 will be 2.0.30903 and should be available here once released.  This is an important release in that it allows developers of Silverlight applications to test their applications and prepare them for the imminent release of Silverlight 2.0.

Some of the most exciting changes besides the much cleaner path between Silverlight and the full .NET framework is the addition of three controls that we have been waiting for (although we already rolled our own): ComboBox, ProgressBar, and PasswordBox.

There are a slew of changes that really stabilize and standardize this release, however you should be aware of things that will break your existing applications, so read the guide from Microsoft.  Also, Microsoft has provided some developer release notes that are quite useful so you should make sure to check those out as well.

Anyway, my downloads are done so I am off to play around with the new toolset and runtime.  Enjoy!
