Silverlight 3.0 release notes<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=157632>from http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ says
*Silverlight 3 Tools and Silverlight 2 Compatibility* Silverlight 2 projects cannot be created with the Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio 2008. To create Silveright 2 projects, uninstall the Silverlight 3 runtime and the Silverlight 3 Tools from Add or Remove Programs and re-install the Silverlight 2 Tools for Visual Studio 2008. The SL3 Tools download page<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9442b0f2-7465-417a-88f3-5e7b5409e9dd&displaylang=en>doesn't really say either way... BUT it seems that I can't even view 3.0<http://conceptdev.blogspot.com/2009/07/silverlight-30-cant-upgrade-runtime.html>unless I *do *install the tools (over the 2.0 tools) Catch-22? Like I said in my blog, I don't want to be website forcing the 4Mb download until I absolutely have to... so will probably be SL2 dev'ing for a little while yet. Back to a VM for all 3.0 work & testing. I can 'kinda' understand MS' approach... but then again kinda not... did I miss something?
