Hi All,

I have created a silverlight project and following the first video tutorial to create a smiley face:

http://silverlight.net/Learn/videocat.aspx?cat=1

But when I tried to open the .sln file in Expression Blend it gives me the following error:

Canvas is not supported in a windows presentation foundation (wpf) project
Rectangle is not supported in a windows presentation foundation (wpf) project
Ellipse is not supported in a windows presentation foundation (wpf) project
( + many more)

There are a few differences between my project and the video tutorial which I think might cause this:

First, in SilverLight new project templates I have:

Silverlight Applcation
Silverlight Class Library

unlike the video tutorial which has:
 
Silverlight Javascript Application
Search Online Templates...

Secondly, I notice the default code in xaml is different:

I get Page.xaml with the following code:

<UserControl x:Class="HelloSilverLight.Page"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Width="400" Height="300">

But in the video tutorial, the code is:

<Canvas xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

Is this a silverlight versioning problem?

I am using:

ExpressionStudio2Beta_en.exe
silverlight_chainer.exe

Thanks.

Great work.

 Yes its a version problem the video and the code that you have is written in silverlight 1.0 but i think you have installed silverlight 2.0 on your system. code written in a SL 1.0 is bit change in contrast with the code written in SL 2.0. Try to download the code from silverlight web site written in a SL 2.0

Hope this helps you.
