the bottom line |
"client engine s that require a plug-in...".
I recommend removing the space between "engine" and "s".

the last sentence |
"Let's take a closer look at WP more background information."
I can not figure out what you are trying to say, so
it probably needs to be changed.

Page 2.1.2, Example 2.1-1 |
I created a WEBSITE for the Text1 example as the book recommends. I typed example 2.1-1 into the .xaml file;
<UserControl x:Class="Text1.Page"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/cilent/2007"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Width="400" Height="300">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<Canvas>
<TextBlock>Silverlight</TextBlock>
</Canvas>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
Running the website produces the following error;
ParserError- AG_E_PARSER_NAMESPACE_NOT_SUPPORTED
File: Scene.xaml, line 4 character 29
I generated the same .xaml in Expression Belend 2.5 beta and it used the following namespace; xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" instead of the following namespace used in the book;
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/cilent/2007".
This produces the following error;
ParserError- XamlReader.Load() does not support x:Class.
File: Scene.xaml, line 4 character 29
At this point I downloaded the source code for the book and found that it implemented the code for this example as a project rather than a website. Emulating the downloaded code, I recreated the example as a project and everything worked just fine.
I'm a profesional programmer but a Silverlight and WPF newbie so I don't really have much in the way of intuition as to what is happening here save to say the technology is probably changing quickly. I would recommend, however, that the source code download for the book be consistent with the examples in the book.

Maybe get rid of the word "does"?
