I got delayed somewhat messing with the onLoad and Load= issues surrounding the Glyph Map Utility, but I do have two more of my pages converted that were originally done with the February CTP in early March, 2007:
The MIX 'Sidebar' Countdown Timer is past it's shelf-life and I removed it from my site, but the reflection of the time as it's counting down is still pretty cool. No big deal on the Beta 1 conversion beyond what has become normal in these posts.
Silverlight createFromXaml Object Creation/Destruction is still valid as people try to understand not only creating XAML objects at run-time, but also the iteration through canvas children, particularly issues associated with deletion:
I also played a bit with this one to 'unwrap' the child elements in a rudimentary display back to an HTML text box showing that it is possible to work your way back out of the XAML.
Once again, no surprises in the Beta 1 conversion of this one.
This puts me at 15 Beta 1 canvas conversions out of 23 on my site located on 28 Silverlight pages. Animated Rectangles is next
