Where we stand appears to be that the compiler is fine with it, but it causes a runtime exception. MS folks, please give us this property. If not in TextBox, then in RichTextBox.

AMEN to this!!! Videos certainly have their audiences, but for developers, text-based info, with screenshots where appropriate, is infinitely more useful than videos.

Can anyone tell me where we are with this property. Documentation above contradicts itself?

the document says both to use it in SL4 and to not use it. so which one is it?

thanks.

Does anyone in M$ actually read these comments - it would appear not - absolutely pointless document - "only supported in Silverlight 4"..."Do not use in Silverlight 4" - bprevious comments from other confused readers and no reply/comment/correction by M$, As I have said before, stop wasting time on full length videos no one has time to watch and go back to putting out useful test based info we can search for and make use of.
