This was due to a change in hit testing. The only other project that changed between writing and release was a functional change to one of the particle systems. @Rob & Jan: Only one project out of the 180 in Foundation Silverlight 2 Animation was affected by the change from beta to release of Silverlight 2.

I think Jeff got a serious headache of rebuilding the appr. 180 projects :). The projects in the book will work fine with the final release of SL2. If not, please let me know because if that's the case I didn't do a very good job :) Cheers, Rob Houweling @Jan: I can’t speak for the other books, but Foundation Silverlight 2 Animation (I did the technical editing for the book) was written before Silverlight 2 was release but was changed for RC1/final release of Silverlight (before the book got printed).

The author goes the extra mile to explain a topic thouroughly: he gives you not only the "what" and the "how" but also the "why." Plus the chapters on Multithreading, Data Binding, and Networking are the icing on the cake.

Which of these books are written under Silverlight 2 Beta? Because there are a lot of differences between Beta and RC.It's could be very helpful to distinguish them.THXHonza Hi, I have a question.
