I don't know who of you is involved in the dynamic silverlight SDK, but the puts function is really screwed up. I included my fix for it as well. And let's PLEASE get user controls into the Dynamic Silverlight 2 release Thanks ~sean On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 2:28 PM, Sean Clark Hess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You're right, the first one doesn't work.
