Silverlight 2 (Beta 2) Blueprint for SharePointThe Silverlight Blueprint for Sharepoint is now in Beta 2. Code for the version which works with Silverlight 2 Beta 2 is now available at http://www.codeplex.com/SL4SP/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=16420.The updated release of the Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint is a little different from the original blueprints as with this release we've created a set of self-contained samples that using the blueprint methodology you can deploy to your SharePoint site to test out the Silverlight applications. The goal of the blueprints is to give you some guidance on how to integrate Silverlight applications with SharePoint. There are many possibilities here, and we've put together just a few to get you started.
