Hi Miguel

I'll properly write up the list and send it when I've finished my testing.
Most of the bugs currently centre around the DataPager control - it's got a
few of them.

In regards to the SelectedValue issue, I wrote this up in this article here:

http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Building-a-Silverlight-Line-Of-Business-Application-Part-5.aspx

under the heading ComboBox Nightmare.  The cascading dropdown height issue
has now been resolved in the Silverlight 3 beta, but there's still no
SelectedValue/SelectedValuePath/SelectedValueBinding properties for
instances where (in my example) you have a Product business object with a
ModelID property, and a collection of key/value pair objects (dictionary
items) of model ID's and descriptions in a combobox.  If you can set the
SelectedValuePath to the ID property on the dictionary items, and you can
set the SelectedValueBinding to the ModelID property on the business
object.  Wires up nicely for business application scenarios in which this
pattern occurs very frequently.  With binding to the SelectedItem property
you have to do an awful hack like I detail in my article using a
ValueConverter.  I've also seen a method of wrapping the ComboBox in a
control and adding the functionality but that's not ideal either.  If
Silverlight is really going for the business application market and
Silverlight 3 appears to be it needs this simple functionality in my
opinion.

I have blogged some of my thoughts on Silverlight 3 here:
