I am learning Silverlight and WPF on my own to expand my programming base. I am following this tutorial, and I am currently stuck on part 3.

In fact, I think that it is superfluous. What is the reason for writing this space? I've read that the space solves some "backwards compatibil...
I am using the (.NET 3.5 SP1) System.Xml.Linq namespace to populate an html template document with div tags of data (and then save it to disk). Sometimes the div tags are empty and this seems to be a problem when it comes to HTML. According to my research, the DIV tag is not self-closing. Therefore, under Firefox at least, a <div /> is ...
