Last night Microsoft released the first release candidate for Silverlight 2.0.

There are a few new controls added in this release: the Combobox, passwordbox and the progressbar.

you can download the new silverlight release candidate at: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/sl2rc0.aspx

on Scott Guthries weblog there is a nice explanation on how these new controls work.

the new silverlight Controls (Combobox, passwordbox and the progressbar)

note that only the developer tools and runtime are released and not regular silverlight runtime. This is done so developers have time to upgrade their applications before silverlight 2.0 RC1 is actually released to the public.

Happy coding!
