Folks, a warning: I was just experimenting with VS2017 in a VM to be sure that all of my existing projects will work, before I upgrade on my real PC. It was going quite well until I couldn't load a Silverlight 5 project. I installed the developer runtime and fiddled around a bit and it still wasn't working, so on a whim I ran a web search and found this <https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/productinfo/vs2017-compatibility-vs>:
*Silverlight projects are not supported in this version of Visual Studio. To maintain Silverlight applications, continue to use Visual Studio 2015.* Really! I'm shocked. That's a pain for me, as I've got SL5 apps still out live. And I'm not too keen on running VS 15 and 17 side-by-side. Anyway, just a heads-up -- *Greg K*
