Then, he touched upon the improved ability to work with bitmap images, new media formats support (MPEG 4, RAW audio and video, HD Photo, H.264 and ACC.LC decoders), improved data binding (updates control and simplified processes), and answered questions from the participants.<\/p>\n<p>During the discussion, Sergiy gave examples of large projects created with Silverlight, referring to the official website of the Beijing Olympic Games and a few telecom projects. He also informed the audience about the dates of the Silverlight 3 intermediate and final releases.
