List of feature in Silverlight 4.

Posted by dpowell in User Group on 01 30th, 2010 | no responses

Ok so I am a little behind in my emails and I am catching up on my email (Saturday morning 3am).   I had a couple of emails asking why there is a new version of Silverlight out now since Silverlight 3 was release 4 months ago.    Well first a small reminder Silverlight 4 is still in beta.   However what we are seeing in the beta is a major game changer for Silverlight developement.    Below are some of the features.  I pulled this from Tim Heuer’s blog.   He is a well know Silverlight Developer.
