Introduction
I’m sure by now you have heard that the Silverlight 5 Release Candidate has been released. I recently had a chance to Guest Blog for the Microsoft MVP Award Program Blog on “Getting Started with the Silverlight 5 Release Candidate”. Now before we get started learning about it, let’s look at a few new features:
What is new in the Silverlight 5?
Multiple Window Support - Trusted app can create additional Windows.
Ancestor RelativeSource Binding – Enables a DataTemplate to bind to a property on the control that contains it.
Implicit DataTemplates – Allows you to target a data template for a specific data type.
ClickCount - Enables Multi-click input on left/right mouse buttons.
Binding on Style Setter – Allows binding to be used within styles.
Realtime Sound (low-latency Audio) - Enables pre-loading of an audio source for precision timing of playback. (Multiple playback is ok)
Variable Speed Playback (“Trick Play”) – Fast-Forward or review at variable speeds.
Linked Text Containers - Text will overflow from one to the next.
Custom Markup Extensions – Allow you to run custom code from XAML.
XAML Binding Debugging - Setting breakpoints in XAML
