.NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 + Silverlight 1.0 RC

[julioc]

My website uses Silverlight for video and it has been workingperfect since Silverlight1.0 Beta was announced.Today,I just migrated my developer machine to .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 +Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2 + Silverlight 1.0 RC. Then, I migrated my website to this new configuration and works perfect in my machine.

Now, I just uploaded the new Microsoft.Web.Preview.dll to my BIN directory and the new tags on my web.config file. After doing that, I started getting this error when loading my homepage:
Server Error in '/' Application.

My guess is that theserver has not been upgraded to .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2 still. Am I right? Silverlight EULA clearly states that Silverlight Beta will stop running on August 1, 2007 (TODAY), then my customers won´t be able to view my videos unless they upgrade to Silverlight RC, so my site needs.NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2in order tosupport Silverlight RC too inmediatelly.

When will you start supporting .NET Framework 3.5 Beta 2?

Only the release versions of the .NET framework are supported on the production servers. We're looking into supporting .NET 3.5 beta but it will definitely not be on the productions servers.

Thanks Aristotle. I'm a little bit confused, because in your main page (http://discountasp.net/) you say that your service is "Silverlight Compatible" and that is why I added Silverlight to my app in first place. Silverlight compatible means having .NET Framework 3.5Beta 2 on your server (for Silverlight 1.1 apps).You are evendemoing Silverlight applications over here (http://community.discountasp.net/default.aspx?f=29&amp;m=17532)(which, BTW, are not working anymore unless you install Silverlight RC).

So you are not supporting Silverlight in production servers anymore?

Thanks,
Julio

As I understand it, Silverlight 1.0 RC does not require .NET 3.5 to run. It just so happens that your web application requires it. That's where the error is actually coming from, which is unrelated to the Silverlight functionality.

You are right. It´s my confusion. I´m not using Silverlight RC, but Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Refresh. I will better move to Silverlight 1.0 RC in order to make it work.

Thanks,
