Can you explain what this is Mike.  I thought these were already released.  Also the version offered via the link is *older* than the version already offered.  I installed version 9.0.30730.33 a couple weeks ago (not RC0, the RTW).  The version you are linking to is 9.0.30729.145.

How is this different from the RTW released a couple weeks ago and why is the version older?

Thanks for any information.

Does this include the source code to WrapPanel and other controls? I'd REALLY (an i mean REALLY) like to look at the source code and related files (xaml/resources) to LEARN how to write my own controls and work with the Silverlight framework from a control writer's perspective.

RC0 was 30730.33; RC1 was 30729.143.

RTM is this release which is 30729.145. Actually we are updating this number now to be 30729.146 to match our intl releases - bits the same same as .145.

Hi Mike, I install it but the Version Number still 9.0.30729.143 other than 9.0.30729.145 . What is the problem?

Moreover, I can't use Properties to edit my control in VS2008

Should I uninstall the RC1 before I install this, or will it just update?

mike.snow said:

Haagel - It will just update it.

Jlgustc - How are you checking your version for SL Tools?

jlgustc said:

I view it from VS2008's Help->About Microsoft Visual Studio

And Tim Heuer said that due to cache issue, what we have downloaded is still RC1, and we should wait for about two days for the final real release
