It seems difficult to obtain answers in the Silverlight Forums. For example, I'm having problems implementing the Mediaplayer control.

I'm trying to add chapter info to the MediaPlayer contol info from a xml datasource.

Here's my final problem. To add a chaper in codebehind requires a Position item, and the position item has a type of Double. Now, the actual position of a chapter in a video might have the format of 00.13.50.3064004.

How does one convert "00.13.50.3064004" to a Double??????

Hiya Jesse,

Thanks for keeping us updated. Although I appreciate all the effort your putting into new developers just getting to know Silverlight, could you also spend some time (or shed some light) on the big migration issue for early adapters who've been using SL since the start (and, personally speaking, have created an enormous code base to overcome initial shortcomings). So what are best practices refactoring all of this?

Ie: we've created a few projects with about 60 controls (ranging from textbox to dateTime picker) which somehow now all inherit from FrameworkElement. In the next release, would you recommend inheriting from Button or Textbox?

(thanks for all the work though you're putting in :) )

Hey, no frustration here, so don't worry. I know it's all very new and I just need to wait, so I'll continue working on my idea and see what the full release of SL2.0 brings.

Thanks for the update Jesse. State gov't can move slowly anyway, so I'm really in no rush.

>> I'm trying to find out about plans for printing support in SL2.0, and haven't been able to so far.<<

We have actually released very little information about what will be in Silverlight 2.

There have, to my knowledge been only two public posts; here are the links:

http://tinyurl.com/2kc7yr - see the part on Silverlight 2

http://tinyurl.com/2u2drt - a sneak peek on Silverlight 2

I apologize again for the frustration, but full release is just around the corner at which time all these questions will be answered and then some!

Thanks!

I agree with Ben about having a single place for answers.

I'm trying to find out about plans for printing support in SL2.0, and haven't been able to so far.

I'm working on an idea for a reporting solution for my stage agency using SL2.0, and printing out the reports would be essential.

(Maybe there is already an answer and someone can point me to it.)

Thanks,

Stephen
