Hi Pooja,

This sample based on Silverlight Beta 1 and I think you are working on Beta 2 version which is root cause of this error.

So try to use XamlReader.Load(string) method instead of “InitializeFromXaml(..)” and I hope it will work.

Ta,
Rajeesh

its a vry good article.
but i got error in this line..
can you tel me how can i resolve it.
i got erroe in this method: HostingSurface()
inthis in this line: this.InitializeFromXaml(new System.IO.StreamReader(stream).ReadToEnd()) as Canvas;

Error: ‘SimpleControl.HostingSurface’ does not contain a definition for ‘InitializeFromXaml’ and no extension method ‘InitializeFromXaml’ accepting a first argument of type ‘SimpleControl.HostingSurface’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
