I know it could be annoying but, as my boss is also asking, I still have to ask, 

When will Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2 be released?

Because we need to plan new development on Silverlight with commercial go live license now.

Big thanks to anyone who can answer it.

When will Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2 be released?

We are targeting late Summer

Here is a rough timeline:
Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1 (Q1CY08 with limited (non commercial) Go-Live)
Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2 (Q2CY08 with Go-Live)
Silverlight 2.0 RTM (Summer 2008) – Exact timing TBD

Silverlight v.next – We are working on a v.Next plan and have nothing to announce at this time

The link that I gave you in my previous post is the latest information that I have. AFAIK,  there will be some breaking changes between beta2 and beta1. We may have more controls in beta2. As I'm not working at Microsoft, I don't know the exact answer. maybe, someone from Microsoft may give you the exact answer.

Hi, You should probably open new thread for your question. 

JaishreeMCA:

HttpWebRequest request = new BrowserHttpWebRequest(new Uri("C:\\Items.xml"));

I tried implement this coding but its giving error

Error 1 'System.Net.BrowserHttpWebRequest' is inaccessible due to its protection level 

anybody give solution please

Based on Silverlight 2 Breaking Changes, BrowserHttpWebRequest is removed in SL2 beta1.

For example:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(new Uri("http://contoso.com"));
request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(ResponseCallback), request);
 
...
 
// AsyncCallback called back on UIThread
private void ResponseCallback(IAsyncResult asyncResult)
{
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)asyncResult.AsyncState;
 
    HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(asyncResult);
    Stream content = response.GetResponseStream();
 
    using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StreamReader(content)))
    {
        while (reader.Read())
        {
            if ((reader.IsStartElement()) && ("item" == reader.LocalName))
            {
                using (XmlReader itemReader = reader.ReadSubtree())
                {
                    while (itemReader.Read())
                    {
                        if (itemReader.IsStartElement())
                        {
                            if ("title" == itemReader.LocalName)
                            {
                            }
                            else if ("link" == itemReader.LocalName)
                            {
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    content.Close();
}

 Thanks for the reply. I am waiting for this reelease now so I can progress with url's that have a semicolon in them. I hope that problem is fixed in the next release. 

Anyone  know if that bug is fixed in beta 2?
