Bugs fixed (or not) in Silverlight 3 RTW

As I did after the Silverlight 2 release, I thought it would be a good idea to review the bugs that I have submitted, to see what progress is. It's taken me a while to get this done because I've been busy with other things.

Four of the bugs are fixed. Unfortunately, the Silverlight team are very poor at communicating the status of bugs - often bugs will be closed then opened and then closed again and there's often never any explanation as to whether the bug is ever going to be fixed.  The majority of these issues are in situations where you would expect things to work - they do work correctly WPF but don't work in Silverlight.  In some cases, I suspect that this is because of the internal structures in Silverlight - hopefully these will be resolved soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

Suggestion implemented:

#373013 BindingOperations should be included in Silverlight (partially implemented)

Fixed:

#378419 Assigning new content to a ContentControl clears other controls in the template in Silverlight

#470822 Image.source with no source set is not null

#461978 ItemContainerStyle gets incorrectly applied within a control template

#458014 Changing title on page just does not change title on title bar

Apparently By Design:

#377494 ToggleButton doesn't display the IsChecked visual state correctly

#377655 Referencing an image via a relative path in generic.xaml causes exception in Silverlight

Not Fixed:

#373116 ToolTip causes ArgumentException

#373957 Value does not fall within the expected range assigning PointCollection in Silverlight

#377171 Using a path style from app.xaml fails the second time in Silverlight

#425334 Binding to ActualWidth ignores changes in Silverlight

#428412 Linked files in folders are not output correctly in SL 3

#459475 ImageBrush ImageSource binding parsing error

#460375 Silverlight doesn't work correctly with multiple resource dictionaries

#462271 Binding to Items.Count doesn't work

#469091 Referencing an image in a custom control which is a RootVisual will not load the image

#473411 Set Uri as "" in xaml not consistent with WPF

#475639 Silverlight should support nullable dependency properties (filed after SL 3 RTW)
