Current Date in Silverlight XAML TextBlock?

Binding in Silverlight requires a Source object or a Dependency object. From that source object you can bind to Properties (hence by definition you are binding to instance members) or Dependency Properties.

Even if you could declare DateTime. Now in Silverlight's XAML (since you can in WPF - http://soumya.wordpress.com/2010/02/12/wpf-simplified-part-11-xaml-tricks/), you have the issue that your time won't update. If you use a local timer that updates on the second you can ensure that your time will update as well.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
