This is just to say that Microsoft has released an update for Silverlight 3

I just put a beta of CSLA .NET 3.7 online, which builds and works with Silverlight 3, and with .NET 3.5 SP1.

This is the same code as 3.6.3, but builds with Silverlight 3. So while it is "beta", it is very solid beta :)

At what point will 3.7 not support Silverlight 2?  I know you mentioned you want to start using some of the new features.  Will you do a 3.7 as a 'final release' and then 3.7.1 that starts with new features?

I like to stay as current as possible but until a few vendors release 3.0 final updates and my clients upgrade to 3.0 I can't make the switch.  I thought you mentioned that there were quite a few bug fixes in the current 3.7 release.

Thanks

I’m not entirely sure of the answer to the question about 3.7 supporting SL2.

 

I suspect (but don’t know) that 3.7 will work with SL2. I say this because I know Microsoft worked really hard to ensure backward compatibility, so it seems likely. Unfortunately, I already upgraded my desktop to SL3, so I don’t even have an SL2 machine where I can try 3.7 L

 

Thanks to Windows Update and Silverlight’s update, given a few days there won’t be any SL2 runtimes out there anyway I suppose, so it won’t really matter?

 

The only two things I did btw, are these:

 

1. Change the System…Controls.Data.dll reference to be non-version specific so it references the 3.0 DLL

2. Fix the WCF data portal reference to accommodate changes to WCF in SL3

 

So the answer is that if 3.7 works in SL2 today, then that’s cool. If not, then you need to stick with 3.6.3 for a while.

 

I was going to do a 3.7 with new features for SL 3, but Microsoft released SL 3 much faster than I expected they would, and I’ve been too busy with other work to add new features. Since SL3 is out, I think it is critical that there be a version of CSLA that supports it, so I’m going to release 3.7.0 as being “3.6 that builds in SL3”, and decide where to go from there.

A link to the release version of Silverlight 3 tools, because searching kept taking me to the beta version:
