Silverlight Egg Timer
NOTE: The link is now updated from a WPF/E example to a 1.0 Silverlight example - Simon.
Well, after a while you get sick of "Hello World" for your first applications.
I thought I'd make my Silverlight learning experience public, so if you have Silverlight installed, take a look. I wanted a two-minute timer for all my GTD "less than two minute" tasks, so I wrote one.
More examples coming soon.

I guess that'll have to wait for version 2!! ;)
I noticed that you have a script error, which is handled in IE (7) but thrown in FF (1.5.0.8):
Error: Error calling method on NPObject!

Line: 30 (and 180)
The syntax of the call should be
[TextBlock].setvalue("text", "asdf");
rather than
[TextBlock].setvalue("text") = "asdf";
Alternatively, you can access the property "directly" by using:
[TextBlock].text = "asdf";
using Expression Blend or by code?
i need to know if its possible to do wpf/e using Blend ...
thnx ..
Now, I'm really looking forward to having a nice designer to work with, but I must admit I really did learn a lot by working with the raw XAML.
