Awesome stuff.

You guys should check out the MVVMLight Preview bits. The ViewModelLocator is much better and comes with a very simple IoC implementation.

Why is that HTML5 video? I wan't the Silverlight player back with full screen support on my multi monitor config.

 Interesting stuff. I guess Microsoft will be pushing more native development with Windows 8... 

 

That's exactly  point number 2 on my //BUILD/ predictions. http://janhannemann.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/placing-final-bets-build/

@wkempf: After my first thread with almost 6 million viewings was locked because of trolling, a Silverlight moderator was replying in a sequel thread that "We can't say anything else until September. Trust me that the previous thread
was visible at some of the highest levels inside Microsoft (one reason I edited
to remove the trolls and insulting that was a problem and obscuring the message
the thread was sending)"

Looks like we send a message and maybe we get answers earlier than September. Meanwhile, lets hope the best.

 There's a reason for this. HTML is a document centric language and does very poorly when designing other types of user interfaces.

@bystander: The answer I got form SL forum moderator was "All I can say for now is to please wait until September."

The real question is, why is IE10 not executing XAP's natively. No need for a plugin on Windows and fully accelerated and  integrated into the OS. That would be a nice SL story. But right now it sounds more like they going to rename Silverlight to Silverdusk and we have to program for ActiveDesktop 2.0.

 

I go and print some T-Shirts "I don't wanna be in classic mode"

To make it clear once again. We don't want freaking html/js for app developement. I'm really pissed if this is the final story.

I really looking forward to this event. I'm glad that I registered to attend in person.
