Bugs fixed (or not) in Silverlight 4 Beta

As I did after the Silverlight 2 & 3 releases, I thought it would be a good idea to review the bugs that I have submitted, to see what progress is.

If you haven't already downloaded the Silverlight 4 beta, you can get all the information you need about this release from Tim Heuer's blog: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/11/18/whats-new-in-silverlight-4-complete-guide-new-features.aspx

Thankfully bug fixing progress is much better than I expected this time. Five bugs are fixed, although there are still three fairly basic bugs that have not been fixed. These issues are in situations where you would expect things to work - they do work correctly WPF but don't work in Silverlight.  In some cases, I suspect that this is because of the internal structures in Silverlight - hopefully these will be resolved soon!

Fixed:

#377171 Using a path style from app.xaml fails the second time in Silverlight

#428412 Linked files in folders are not output correctly in SL 3

#459475 ImageBrush ImageSource binding parsing error

#460375 Silverlight doesn't work correctly with multiple resource dictionaries

#462271 Binding to Items.Count doesn't work

Not Fixed:

#373116 ToolTip causes ArgumentException

#373957 Value does not fall within the expected range assigning PointCollection in Silverlight

#425334 Binding to ActualWidth ignores changes in Silverlight

#473411 Set Uri as "" in xaml not consistent with WPF

#475639 Silverlight should support nullable dependency properties

#482404 XamlParseException when setting values on a converter

#511396 Binding parser inconsistent between WPF and Silverlight (filed this week)

Not going to fix:

#469091 Referencing an image in a custom control which is a RootVisual will not load the image

New issues in Silverlight 4:

#511958 Hyperlink should be able to be inserted in a textblock
