[OzSilverlight] 1.0 RC breaks 1.1 alpha

[Jonathan Parker]

Has anyone had problems with the 1.0 RC breaking the 1.1 alpha?

I had auto updates turned on so I was automatically upgraded to the 1.0 RC
from the beta.

I previously had the 1.0 beta and the 1.1 alpha installed but now building
fails with the error that

the silverlight framework is not installed. I'm using Orcas beta 1. With the
silverlight extensions.

If I need to download the 1.1 again where would I find it. It seems to have
disappeared from silverlight.net.

 

 

Regards,

 

Jonathan.

Also, given that u r using Orcas Beta 1 with the Alpha tools I will
reconsider getting Orcas 2 and the refreshed set of tools as it will
automatically add the references to the new Silverlight.js file and
structure... or download the latest version of Blend (August Preview) as it
will as well create the projects with the new files and structure.

RE: [OzSilverlight] Accessing local variable from XAML

Subject: [OzSilverlight] Accessing local variable from XAML

 

I know this is more of a WPF question but i'm hoping the similarities
between Silverlight and WPF close enough that it applies. That and I think
i'm more likely to get an answer from here. 

 

Is there a WPF e-list? 

 

Anyway, I know how you can access a named XAML object (ala x:Name="name")
from code, but I'm trying to pause an animation that was created in code
from the XAML. 

 

So when I mouse over, it uses a trigger to pause the animation. I've tried
declaring the AnimationTimeline object as internal and public but it seems
to be one way. Have I missed something? 

 

Again, forgive me if this post is offtopic. Someone point me to the WPF
e-list if there is one. 

 

cheers,

Stephen

[OzSilverlight] Modification of the 1.1 SDK Button

[Jonathan Parker]

I thought some of you might be interested in a simple mod. to the button
shiped in the 1.1 sdk.

 

Add this  to the updatelayout method to avoid having to set the width for
each button

that has a different length text.

 

  if (text != null)

  {

this.SetValue(Canvas.WidthProperty, text.ActualWidth +
30);

  } 

 

You could even add an EnableAutoWidth property to the button to enable this
if you want to keep the

original behaviour in other situations.

A!

 

It's all good. Just hit TAB!

 

This will hide all panels. You can also hit F4 or click on Window -> Hide
Panels.

 

Note that everything is still available on the side as popouts.

 

Very cool!

RE: [OzSilverlight] Blend Sept. Preview

[Jonathan Parker]

Interesting...

I would prefer just one huge monitor with the previso that I can define as
many
"logical monitors" as I want and arange them as I want. I may even define
portions of the
physical monitor as "empty". This would enable floating monitors. I guess it
would be like docking
and floating in Visual Studio extended to "logical monitors". This would
enable great flexibility as
there are times when you want one large monitor. This would also be similar
to having monitors
that fit together withought any visible edges.

I see no reason why this should not be possible.

I think it should also be possible to have a labtop with a screen that can
be folded.

Anyone expert in patent applications? ;)

Jonathan

[OzSilverlight] Cross domain web service calls and debugging.

[Jonathan Parker]

Hi,

 

I'm really getting annoyed with the cross domain restriction for web
services.

I know exactly why it's there but it doesn't make it easy to debug when I'm
using

shared hosting.

 

At the moment I have to upload the new web service code and then recompile

the SL app against it before uploading.

 

Is anyone else having trouble with this or have any suggestions.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Jonathan

RE: [OzSilverlight] Cross domain web service calls and debugging.

[Jonathan Parker]

Sorry, I didn't really explain my problem very well.

 

I'm not actually doing cross domain calls. I just want to be able to debug
and then release without

having to change the web reference every time.

 

For example. I have a silverlight 1.1 app. that connects to a web service.
Both are on the same domain.

 

For testing I can't use the live web service because it's on a different
domain to localhost.

Therefore I have to host my web service on my local machine and reference it
from there.

That means that whenever I upload changes to my domain I have to first
upload the web service changes

and then delete the localhost web reference and add the domain web
reference. Then I can upload the changes.

 

Now I think about it more. If you where given a web service on your own
domain but not given a copy of it

to run on your local machine, even though the app. won't be doing
cross-domain calls in production you will still

not be able to debug it.

 

In fact even connecting to a web service on the localhost from a silverlight
project (no asp.net project) you can't

debug as the silverlight html page is opened directly from the file system
and thus there is no domain for it to run in.

 

It just makes for a difficult development experience.

 

 

So I'm just making sure that these issues will be fixed allong with the
"actual" cross-domain issues in 2.0.

 

Thanks,

 

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

 

Your not the only one experiencing headaches with cross domain calls with
SilverLight 1.1, it's not very developer friendly!

 

However I believe that SilverLight 2.0 (release to be in early March for Mix
08) will have a more elegant solution to this problem. I believe the
Silverlight team have re-engineered a better way of performing cross-domain
calls that doesn't require the annoying workarounds we're currently forced
to do.

I have webservices and my setup is as follows

 

1. Using VS2008 i create a SilverLight 1.1 project

2. Using VS2008 i add an ASP.NET web application to the same solution

3. Add the SilverLight 1.1 application(1 above) to the ASP.NET application(2
above). You do this by right clicking on the asp.net web application project
(2 above) and get the context menu -> click add silverlight link ->  choose
the silverlight application from 1 above and click ok.

4. Add your webservice to the ASP.NET web application (2 above). Thus the
silverlight application and the web service now exist in the same project.

 

 

Everytime you make a change to the silverlight project it will compile and
deploy to the asp.net website (2 above)

 

When you make a change to the webservice you should be able to immediately
get the changes because it is all linked to the same solution and project.

 

Does this make sense? This is how I build/test during development and it
works a treat!

[OzSilverlight] Silverlight 2.0 Web Services

[Jonathan Parker]

I've been trying to get this working for a few days now and it's just not
happening.

 

Has anyone got WCF or ASMX web services working with Silverlight 2.0 beta 1?

 

What about videos/samples? Does anyone know of any that are updated from the
alpha release?

 

I figured out that you can't have a web service in a different solution to
the ASP.NET solution that hosts Silverlight

but I'm still not getting it to work with the inbuilt web server or IIS7 on
Vista.

 

I tried uploading a web service to my hosting site and referencing it
directly but it still didn't work.

 

I tried consuming the same web service from a console app and it worked
fine.

 

What I haven't tried (because I don't know how to) is using the inbuild web
server while using a webservice within the

ASP.NET web site that hosts the silverlight control.

 

The reason I can't do this is because with an ASP.NET website AFAIK you
can't statically set the port number. This means that whenever you call

the web service it's going to be on the wrong port because it is bound to
the port from when the reference was added.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

 

At the moment I can't even debug so I don't know what error I'm getting.

Thanks, I've got it working now with WCF.

However I did need to do some extra work to get it working on shared
hosting:

 

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="Service"
Factory="CustomHostFactory" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/Service.cs" %>

 

using System;

using System.Data;

using System.Configuration;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Security;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Xml.Linq;

using System.ServiceModel.Activation;

using System.ServiceModel;

 

/// 

/// Summary description for CustomHostFactory

/// 

class CustomHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory

{

protected override ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(Type serviceType, Uri[]
baseAddresses)

{

CustomHost customServiceHost =

  new CustomHost(serviceType, baseAddresses[1]);

return customServiceHost;

}

}

 

class CustomHost : ServiceHost

{

public CustomHost(Type serviceType, params Uri[] baseAddresses)

: base(serviceType, baseAddresses)

{ }

protected override void ApplyConfiguration()

{

base.ApplyConfiguration();

}

}

 

Here's the post where I found the fix:

I have run some extremely simple silver light apps on an older PC but still
quite powerful (P4 AMD 2400+ Athlon 32 bit + 512 Mb ram + 256 Mb Video card)

when I look at the task manager performance it is often hitting 100% and
with a couple silver light sites open can experience a couple very long
freezes as things loaded

I should mention this was on a "Dial-up" 56Kb / sec connection

most of the freezing seemed to be related to loading content...

the content was not loaded using the "Downloader/WebClient" so I wonder if I
used this to download content would these issues go away...?

have other people noticed any similar issues..?

[OzSilverlight] Silverlight SEO

[Jonathan Parker]

Hi All,

 

I've been looking into SEO for Silverlight a bit and found that it's not all
as easy as it is made out to be.

The issue is that in most apps the content (which is what you want indexed)
is not part of the xaml.

This would be the case if you just had static content inside the xaml but
this is rarely the case with silverilght.

 

The way that crawlers/spiders crawl content on dynamic sites (e.g. content
from a DB) is by following links.

 

So although you can have hyperlinks in SL it's not really the natural way to
expose content as it's easier to

download content via the network API vs. loading a whole new dynamically
generated xaml page from the server.

 

So the question arises how does flash handle SEO.

 

Well apparantly there is some support. For example
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en
<http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=filetype%3Aswf> &q=filetype%3Aswf

 

Now unless these sites are dynamically generating ( or more likely just have
a custom handler for ) swf files then

this means swfs are "parsable" and "indexable" though when it comes to
exposing the state of the swf with deep links I don't think

that works out of the box.

 

So the question is how to implement SEO in general and deep links in
particular for SL.

 

My current theory is that you could pass the url/query string to SL by using
the initparams:

 

function createSilverlight()

{  

Silverlight.createObject(

"plugin.xaml", // Source property value.

parentElement, // DOM reference to hosting DIV tag.

"myPlugin",// Unique plug-in ID value.

{  // Plug-in properties.

width:'600',   // Width of rectangular region of
plug-in in pixels.

height:'200',  // Height of rectangular region of
plug-in in pixels.

version:'1.0'  // Plug-in version to use.

},

{ },   // No events defined -- use empty
list.

"param1, param2"); // InitParams property value.

}

 

Then the SL app would use these to set the state ("navigate" to specific
content or set the selected index in a list of content).

This would handle links from a search engine but you would still have to
generate the urls and content for the spider to crawl.

This I think is done at the moment using the "javascript" test. I.e. spiders
don't execute JS and therefore you can take advantage
of that by displaying xml/html with content and links if JS is "disabled".

 

The first issue doesn't seem so difficult but the second one I'm finding
hard to get my head around.

 

Any thoughts?

RE: [OzSilverlight] Silverlight SEO

[Jonathan Parker]

Perry:

 

I saw Nikhil's post just after I sent of the email. I think some of his
ideas are great but I don't think it's a full solution. I.e. no deep
linking.

My comment

 

>>Then the SL app would use these to set the state ("navigate" to specific
content or set the selected index in a list of content).

 

may not be clear enough. I'm talking about selecting content within the page
not using multiple xaml pages. I believe this is deep linking.

 

Michael:

 

Again this will bring the user to your site but won't bring them to the
specific content their expecting from the search. See bellow for more.

 

Jose:

 

When I saw your link to visitmix.com I was blown away!

 

http://sessions.visitmix.com/?selectedSearch=BT03 is a deep link!

 

Your link to a video about Silverlight SEO demonstrates Silverlight SEO!

 

When the link loads it loads a Silverlight Application which then displays a
search result according to the url. In this case it's session BT03.

 

I'm certain that they are using some thing link initparams to do this.

 

The site however doesn't go the extra step to serve up content to spiders as
can be seen if you turn off javascript and navigate to the above link.

 

This is what is the complex part of the problem.

 

I will watch this video and get back to you.

 

 

Thanks all for your input.

 

Cheers,

 

Jonathan

Hi,

 

What you highlight is definetely on the radar of Microsft I believe. They
had a great session at Mix08 titled Advanced SEO for web developers
(http://sessions.visitmix.com/?selectedSearch=BT03). But I also watched
another video where the silverlight team talked about the work they were
doing with SEO in particular with 2.0 because now the distribution method is
nolonger xAML but XAP's which as we all know are zip files which can contain
hundreds of files including xAml's and resource fiels (ripe for spidering).

 

The biggest point I took from the videos was that ultimately it would be up
to the search engine owners (google's, live search, yahoo search) to work
out how to get to the data, and more importantly what constituted important
data. I belive the Live Search team are work hard to ensure our RIA's are
given every advantage of making there way up the search page ranks. It's now
up to the other engines to acknowledge initiatives in this direction.

 

As for what we designers/developers can do honestly I'll keep filling in the
tag's, layer names as I've always have.As for URL re-writing for internal
navigation within silverlight (where an external unique url adress that is
spider friendly will get you to the correct silverlight instance), I believe
there are things out there that can do this easily I've seen one solutiong
BUT I believe it's too early to commit to anything when the search engines
themselves haven't acknowledged they are spidering them.

 

It's going to be an interesting couple of years if it plays out in favour of
RIA over traditional sites!

RE: OT: Silky vs Microsoft was RE: [OzSilverlight] Silverlight 3.0 wishlist, now's your chance.

[Jonathan Parker]

My list:

1. Better clipboard support. I don't get why you can't just copy/paste
to/from the clipboard in SL when this is allowed with HTML/Javascript.
I would expect that SL would have a superset of the features of HTML and not
be more limited in security. I can understand that SL shouldn't be allowed
direct access
to the clipboard by default but that doesn't mean that you can't make a
textblock selectable and have a context menu so you can copy the text.

2. Right and middle mouse click events on controls and context menu control.

3. Rich text is a tricky one as when it comes to copy/paste to/from the
clipboard problems arise. If you can solve this x-platform that would be
something awsome.

4. Make unit testing easy to automate without a browser (if not already
possible).

5. I don't know exactly how the deployment of the SDK bits works at the
moment but it would be good if they only needed to be downloaded once for
each client
instead of once for each client per each app. that references them. This
would mean that the SDK would be kind of like an optional service pack.
Those who don't want the
big foot print can leave it out by not referencing it and those that need it
can reference it and it will be pulled from the MS server the first time
only.
The SDK could still be open source/codeplex and any changes that people want
to make they can reference as their own DLL instead of the one provided by
MS.
This would also allow more flexibility in the control of upgrades to the
SDK. You could choose to either wait for the MS upgrade or control the
upgrade yourself if you're using your own copy.

This would create more vesion issues than normal but SL devs. are smarter
than plain old .NET devs. right? ;) We can handle it!

*   the ability to use % values for heights and widths would be nice

You mean the star (*) syntax? It is supported by the Grid.

I.e.

 



















 

Just divide by 100!

 

Some other things:

 

Virtical support for the grid splitter.

A wrap panel.

Incremental search in Blend and VS. Long overdue.

Horizontal split of Design/XAML in Blend to support dual-monitor setup.

Multimonitor support. i.e be able to expand a video control inside a SL app.
to fit the monitor it is on not both monitors.

The Silverlight 2.0 Developer Reference poster shows "support" for:

 

Browsers:

 

IE 6, 7, 8

Firefox 1.5, 2.0, 3.0

Safari 2.0, 3.0

 

And platforms:

 

OSX Tiger, OSX Leopard

 

Vista, XP, 2003, 2000

 

None of the above have the orange new tag which indicates new functionality
in 2.0 Beta 1.

I would assume that means they are supported in 1.0, 1.1 also.

 

As for 2.0 RTM I don't know if Opera is supported but I recall seeing it in
some other poster.

Probably a "future support" poster.

 

However this page shows more detailed info on what is currently supported.

 

http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/InstallationFiles.aspx?mode=s
ysreq

 

See the note down the bottom:

 

RECOMMENDED: Use Silverlight in the 32-bit Internet Explorer process on x64
systems. Most browser plug-ins (including Silverlight, Flash, Java and
almost all ActiveX controls) only work in 32-bit browsers currently.

Have you tried the  tag? I'm not sure if thats exactly right. Read
something about it in Adam Nathan's silverlight book in chapter 1. Still
reading it...

[OzSilverlight] Online Silverlight IDE

[Jonathan Parker]

As there currently isn't any Silverilght Pad (the equivalent of LINQ Pad or

I thought it would be good to have a little editor to play around with.

 

So here it is:  http://www.jonathanparker.com.au/Demos/Slide/Slide.html

 

I guess you could run this in an IE control inside a desktop app if you
wanted

an offline version.

 

I recal seeing something like this somewhere but can't remember where.

If anyone does know of an online Silverlight IDE then please let me know.

Hey guys,

 

I've just built a simple feed reader (that works off the DIGG API's) and
wanted to see if other's are getting issues with the performance of it. 

 

It pulls data via feeds from DIGG then stores the xml in the isolated
storage area. It then has a complex set of UI elements that render the XML
in a rich way. 

 

The actual application is not optimized (as I knocked it up in 3 days) as it
is only a proof of concept. 


If anyone out there has a couple of spare minutes could you launch the
application and just play with it for a couple of mins and let me know how
it goes. I've had a couple of mates externally play with it but there
results were wide and varied (good performance, not so good performance,
resizing not working etc)

 

Anyway any comments would be much appreciated!

RE: [OzSilverlight] RE: Silverlight vNext feature request

[Jonathan Parker]

One way to get around this (which goes in line with the whole wpf data
binding philosophy) is to great a class that implements
INotifyPropertyChanged

and which has a property of type ObservableCollection and then just call
the PropertyChangedEventHandler event of INotifyPropertyChanged  whenever
you want to notify the UI of property changes.

 

It's seems to be working for me so far.

 

Do a search for "The MyColors class should implement the
INotifyPropertyChanged interface." in the Silverlight SDK.

The irony of the following code (which does just that) is that we
effectively have a synchronous service request... (please ignore the
horrible code as this really was just a throw away app and I'm sure there is
a much more elegant way of doing it)

 

Public Class SynchronousClient

 

Private service As New SimpleServices2.SimpleService2SoapClient

Private result As String

Private reseter As New System.Threading.AutoResetEvent(False)

Private dispatcher As System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher

 

Public Sub New(ByVal ui As FrameworkElement)

dispatcher = ui.Dispatcher

AddHandler service.HelloWorldCompleted, AddressOf CallBack

End Sub

 

Public Function HelloWorld() As String

'Call the async method

Me.dispatcher.BeginInvoke(New System.Threading.ThreadStart(AddressOf
service.HelloWorldAsync))

'Wait for a response

reseter.WaitOne()

Return result

End Function

 

Private Sub CallBack(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
SimpleServices2.HelloWorldCompletedEventArgs)

result = e.Result

reseter.Set()

End Sub

Yeah fair enough. You'd have to do some hacky stuff like you said if you
wanted something off the UI thread polling a service, i.e. it would have to
hop back on to the UI thread to make the call and then the callback would
have to push the results back into your polling thread. Doable, but not
optimal.

Not the world's best code but does illustrate why you have to make the

Not that I tried it, but I would assume that the service async callback
comes back to the thread that made the initial call. So couldn't you just
make the service call from the background thread?

Hmmm, but that doesn't address the issue which is that you need to make the
service async request from the UI thread.  That still needs to be fixed imho
otherwise you can't have a background thread (backgroundworker or your own
thread) calling services without hopping back onto the ui thread.

.net noobie: Thanks for the tip, but that's not the problem. I hook up the

Dimaz: You're right, that's the problem. The PropertyChangedCallback
executed before the control is loaded, and therefore I have to queue the
animation. I added a simple Queue which I empty and play in the
control loaded events, and it now works...

But this solution still feels a little bit "Frankenstein". In order to
trigger animation based on a databound object I need to:

1) Create a dependency property (even tough the object is allready bound
using DataContext)
2) Hook the PropertyChangedCallback of the dependency property to add the
PropertyChanged event listener
3) Queue any initial state animations in the PropertyChangedCallback
4) Subscribe to the Control_Loaded event and empty the queue and play any
queued animation...

I've attached an updated version which now works, but still isn't to
elegant.

This means, any request to start the animation before hand (eg: in

Therefore, it is best to implement your own "Animation" Queueing engine and
invoke the animation within the OnLoaded Event Handler.
Hope this helps.

correct

the reason that the animation is not firing when the list is created is
becuase the "PropertyChanged" value for the "AllGood" property is equal to
"null"
once it has been set once it is then equal to "Not null"

in your code you test for is equal to "not null"

thus it never fires on the initial creation of the order in the OrdersList,
so that Void/Method runs, but it fails the test...

public virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
if (PropertyChanged != null)
PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}


Anyway I think that is your issue?

Hi,


I have a question regarding Silverlight authentication. The scenario is as
follow:

I need to call an Oracle Soap Service, protected using basic http
authentication, from a Silverlight client. The client will not be  hosted on
the same server, but the server will have a crossdomain.xml file allowing my
Silverlight client to call the service.

In my auto-generated service client I can't access the HttpHeader collection
to add the basic http authentication header.. However, if I use the "raw"
HttpWebRequest class I can add the authentication header before making the
request.

Do I really have to use the HttpWebRequest class and parse the returned XML
my self, or is there a way to set basic http credentials on the web service
proxy?

cheers,

RE: [OzSilverlight] ActualWidth

[Jonathan Parker]

My advice would be if you can't get it working with WPF then you'll not get
very far with SL.

 

Also, WPF Unleashed warns about using ActualHeight and ActualWidth as they
are updated every time

the layout process runs which is asynchronous. Don't know if this has
anything to do with what goes on in SL

but thought you might like to know.

Hi guys,

I've come across this issue before with WPF, and have now hit something
similar in Silverlight. I've got a page with a Canvas element on it called
"pageContents" and I'm loading XAML fragments into the contents of the
Canvas. 
That works no problems, but what I'm having issues with is the
pageContents.ActualWidth (and ActualHeight) are not updating. The Canvas
starts off with no content and Width and Height are not set, so default to
Auto. Adding the content automatically sizes the Canvas but the ActualHeight
and ActualWidth are still showing as 0 (zero). 

I've got a snippet of code that tells me if the mouse click was inside the
bounds of the Canvas and I need to know the dimensions of the canvas.
Calling pageContents.Measure(availablesize) doesn't seem to help. Any other
tricks I can use?

protected void Page_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
var contentRect = new
Rect((double)pageContents.GetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty),
(double)pageContents.GetValue(Canvas.TopProperty), pageContents.ActualWidth,
pageContents.ActualHeight);
var position = e.GetPosition(null);
if (contentRect.Contains(position)) {
_lastMousePosition = position;
}
}

RE: [OzSilverlight] Text property vs Content

[Jonathan Parker]

I fixed this by using XamlReader.Load to create a StackPanel at runtime.

 

Something like this:

 

XamlReader.Load(@"http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007""; 

 
xmlns:x=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"";>

" +
contentGoesHere + @"");



The contentGoesHere string can have  in it.

Then you just add the stack panel as a child control to a control on your
page.

 

It's a bit "dirty" but it works.

Hi,

I've got some text in a database which I'm binding to the Text property of a

It doesn't seem to be honouring the tag's below

This is the second line

It works fine if I remove the binding and place the line above in between
the  and  elements. 
I tried setting the property Text="This is the second line of
text.Third line." and it no longer worked. So it's not the
binding that is the problem here, it seems that anything in the Text
property is interpreted literally whereas the text in the content part of
the TextBlock (ie between the elements) can be proper Xaml. 

Is there a trick to get the Text property to be interpreted as Xaml and not
just a literal string? I need linebreaks with my bound data.

errors.  I have used SP Designer to drop both the access policy files into
the root and still no go.

 

I have SP1 installed.

 

Has anyone got this to work?

Hey all,

I finally got around to having a play with making a Silverlight Vista
sidebar gadget. Making the gadget was simple enough, I just made the Hello
world gadget from msdn. 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/bb456468(VS.85).aspx

I grabbed a Silverlight app that I made a few months ago and checked it
worked in a local browser (in the html page) and it did. I then put the html
into the Vista gadget and all it showed me was the Download silverlight
button. I clicked it and it showed me that it wanted to run the Silverlight
2 Beta 1 version of Silverlight. Just wondering if I've missed something
somewhere. Anyone tried this out?

cheers,
Stephen

It seems more like an issue with how IIS is hosting the WCF service. Yeah,
I've seen the local path thing how it can launch the page you have selected
rather than the website. 

 

My work around is to use the internal VS development web service that starts
up on some random port. My concern was I wouldn't be able to debug the
webservice - I have had an issue where you couldnt debug a non port 80 web
service/website but it seems to be working ok with my Silverlight WCF
service. Just can't run it on IIS for some reason. It's running ok on the
IIS Test server which is IIS 6.0 but I'm hitting that remotely.

not that this is your issue by the sound of it but you also need to make

if you forget and have it set the the Silverlight application to startup
when you run it from VS i noticed that the silverlight app can run using a
file path e.g. (c:\\blah\blah\)
i did not notice for a few minutes and was wondering why I was getting a
security issue trying to call the WCF service from my app...

then I notice set the start up app to the web app/site and it was fine...

Does it explain why in a web browser
http://localhost/WCFTestWeb/Service1.svc gives me a 404.3? 

Is the end point wrong for the web service as this doesn't seem to have
anything to do with Silverlight so I didn't think it would be a crossdomain
issue.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, this used to work for me.

 

I have a Silverlight WCF web service running on a local IIS app. If I browse
to it I get the error HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found.

 

It used to work... *scratches head*. So I decide to create a new one app and
see if it works. I created a blank Silverlight app, added a Silverlight
enabled WCF service to the web site (Web Application project). I try to add
a Service reference to it while it is running on the inbuilt web service and
it can see it no problems. I change the web site to run on IIS and click the
"Create Virtual Directory" button. Check to see it has done so and IIS
manager shows it. Try to add the Service reference again and bam, Error
404.3 not found again.

 

Have I messed up something with IIS? I'm sure it just worked before but I
could be wrong... 

Help!

 

cheers,

Stephen

RE: [OzSilverlight] How to deploy SL App

[Jonathan Parker]

You may need a custom host factory for your web service (if you are using
WCF):

 

class CustomHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory

{

protected override ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(Type serviceType, Uri[]
baseAddresses)

{

CustomHost customServiceHost =

  new CustomHost(serviceType, baseAddresses[1]);

return customServiceHost;

}

}

 

class CustomHost : ServiceHost

{

public CustomHost(Type serviceType, params Uri[] baseAddresses)

: base(serviceType, baseAddresses)

{ }

protected override void ApplyConfiguration()

{

base.ApplyConfiguration();

}

}

 

Then put:

 

Factory="CustomHostFactory"

 

In your .svc file.

Re: [OzSilverlight] SL, WCF App on Vista

[Jonathan Parker]

Are you testing WCF on Vista or Silverlight on Vista? Or both? Is it the
client side that is not working or the server side?
