I can just say that I'm happy to say good bye to Blend 2.5, it was really a pain to use to different Blend versions (2.0 and 2.5 as I mostly work on WPF) and since already bought the Expression Studio I was wondering if I had to buy Blend 2.5 just for Silverlight but now I am happy.

I might bring new tutorials and now that we have a stable version it will be better I was just waiting for the final and stable release so as to kick start developing commercial Silverlight applications.

I must add that since Silverlight 2 Beta 1 was released and my dissatisfaction was confirmed I really lost heart on Silverlight but full credit to Microsoft on updating Silverlight versions to its final release its more or less what I wanted, but I still have some unfortunate dissatisfaction with the final release, mostly the same issues as I had in Silverlight 2 Beta 1 (Keyboard entry in fullscreen mode, Sync calls to web services, Routed Events, Brushes) but things have changed a bit and there is always scope for improvement, I think I just have to hold them back till Silverlight 3 more likely to be 2010.

At any rate I was testing Binding with Dependency Property today and was completely surprised at the lack of support in Silverlight, I'll post my findings soon, plus there are few sample that I wrote on Silverlight 2 Beta 1 that I haven't posted, which I'll do soon.

Anyway, I haven't tested the full extent of Silverlight 2 and Blend, but now I'm onto it. Like I mentioned earlier since some of my previous projects I have undertaken I have also learned C#, so that is another arsenal I have now but I don't know what you guys want when I started with Silverlight on my previous blog I was the only one to provide Silverlight samples on VB.NET, so if you prefer VB.NET instead of C# then please contact me. I must add that I'll still be using VB.NET (VB Literals) in examples for handling XML data in Silverlight, and some other techniques/ideas I have under my sleeve (mostly writing dynamic XAML using VB Literals).
