An Experiment in Scotch

If you’re work­ing in Sil­verlight and your app sud­denly starts giv­ing you the white screen of death, chances are there’s some­thing wrong with the markup. Of course, since the white screen of death results in zero excep­tions, some­times it’s hard to track down what the prob­lem is. Enter the Error Con­sole in Fire­fox. If you get a WSOD, pop open Tools->Error Con­sole in Fire­fox, scroll to the bot­tom of the list and you might be pleas­antly sur­prised to find your prob­lem described there.
