My Development Environment for Silverlight 2 Beta 2
My current development environment for Silverlight 2 Beta 1 is as follows:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
- Microsoft Silverlight Tools Beta 2 for Visual Studio 2008 (Contains Tools, Silverlight Runtime and SDK)
- Microsoft Expression Blend 2.5 June 2008 Preview
There are links to each of these downloads on this page: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/#betajump
One important change for Beta 2. The Silverlight 2 plugin that is installed with the tools is a "Developer Edition", and contains exception details and other symbols to help when debugging Silverlight apps. This is a major step up, since in previous versions it has been very hard to determine the reason for an exception.
