Hi
I've wanted to create a simple 3D App in WPF, so i wanna to know we can import 3DMax's models ( *.max files) in Expression Blend ?
If so , how can we do it ?
Many thanks in advance

I believe the .Max format is protected so it won't be possible to use .max files directly. Instead you might use .3DS. You may even consider importing the 3DS into Blend which can export to Xaml.
I don't know it there are Xaml exporters at the moment. But it should be too hard to write a simple exporter using MaxScript.
Dawn is nature's way of telling you to go to bed.

You can export 3DS files out to XAML using this[^]. I've not tried it, because I prefer working in Maya and Cinema4D, but it should do the job; and do let us know if it does won't you?

Thanks Pete.
It's worked.

Excellent news. That's one for the toolkit then.

I have 2 silverlight controls in a aspx page. Control A fires a static event, and Control B listens to it. Since they are in different DLLs, i've added a reference from Control A into B.
Sadly, B never hears the event, i know its being fired as i've added some debug messages.
Does silverlight not allow this type of functionality ? or am i going about it the wrong way?
Regards,
Gareth.

I think the only way you could make that work, would be to have both of them communicate with their parent container and let the parent be the go-between.
If you look at the test web page that VS2008 generates, there's some javascript in there that might give you a clue how to go about it:
function onSilverlightError(sender, args) {<br />
<br />
var appSource = "";<br />
if (sender != null && sender != 0) {<br />
appSource = sender.getHost().Source;<br />
} <br />
var errorType = args.ErrorType;<br />
var iErrorCode = args.ErrorCode;<br />
...<br />
...
You could maybe pass a custom function to your Silverlight objects as a parameter the same way the error handler is passed:
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%"><br />
<param name="source" value="ClientBin/SilverlightApplication2.xap"/><br />
<param name="onerror" value="onSilverlightError" /><br />
<param name="background" value="white" /><br />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="2.0.31005.0" /><br />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" /><br />
<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=124807" style="text-decoration: none;"><br />
<img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=108181" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style: none"/><br />
</a><br />
</object>
It's just a thought...don't know if it'd work or not
Update: I don't think my above suggestion will work. I found an interesting video on InitParams here[^] though.
Update2: Oh yes you can do it. Here's a video[^] that tells how

Has anyone been able to get an SL app successfully communicating with a self-hosted WCF service? My SL app complains about a badly configured ClientAccessPolicy.xml file, but according to every article and post I've read, I'm doing the right thing. Web Development Helper confirms my SL app successfuly accesses the file (whose headers and content are A-OK). I'm also able to manually browse the ClientAccessPolicy.xml file with no problems and communicate with the service using non-SL apps just fine. (The service itself is a trivial one.)
Thanks for any light you can shed on a solution. (Sorry, hosting the service in IIS isn't a solution ).
Thanks,

Ravi - answering questions with questions here I'm afraid. What do you mean by self-hosted?
|
|
|
|
|
I mean the WCF service runs in a Windows service or console/WinForms app using an instance of a ServiceHost class, instead of running as a .svc in IIS. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Figured it out - CP article coming soon.

I suspect you may have the key to my problem as well. I'm running a C# .NET web service under IIS with an accessible ClientAccessPolicy file too. I can call the service from an SL2 app running on the same machine and another machine running on the same intranet but not from an apparently different domain.
Thoughts?
|
|
|
|
|
Ugh.
Are you able to add a service reference (from scratch) by running VS2008 on a PC in the different domain? IOW, SL aside, are you even able to see the service from the PC on the different domain?

Hello Ravi
I can see the service description page from the external site (1 below).
It all gets a little complex as the only way to test this is to use a GotoMyPc connection (essentially Citrix) to a machine 300 miles away in London and browse back to my desktop here!
Here are 3 URLs - youll need SL2 RTW for #2 to work. What do you see?
1. Raw service: http://ubik8.dyndns.org/novaserver/service1.asmx[^]
2. SL2 app which calls the above: http://ubik8.dyndns.org/novaclient/default.html[^] Just press the Connect button.
3. and the policy file ... http://ubik8.dyndns.org/novaclient/clientaccesspolicy.xml[^]
BTW on the remote machine I used IE7 with the WDH extension added. It gives no clues. Why is this so complicated .. I'd have expected the SL2 <-> IIS Web Service to be an extremely common use case.
Thx
Jerry

My thoughts exactly. 
I can see your config file in my browser - it looks good. However, I think it's the SL client that's impeding access and not your firewall or webserver setup; I don't see the app trying to access CAP.xml.

Does anyone know how to listen to a custom static event in a .NET control from silverlight?
I cant add the reference to the .NET dll as VS2008 complains about it not being a silverlight assembly.
Anyone got an ideas how i'd get around this?
Regards,
Gareth.

You can only reference DLLs compiled in SL from SL projects. So, you will need to build the DLL you trying to reference in SL. SL contains a subset of .net (as well a subset of WPF).

We are developing W PF application which uses .net framework 3.0 for compilation.We are not getting error in runtime or during compiling/debugging. But When we deploy the same application in the system in which visual studio 2008 is not installed we get the following error occurs when navigation takes from one page to other page.
system.windows.xamlparseexception
cannot create instance of "Page1" in defined assembly.
exception has been thrown by target of an invocation
error in markup file 'page1.xaml'
system.reflection.targetinvocation exception
exception has been thrown by target of an invocation
system.ArguementException:Arguement Prompt cannot be converted to type string
could anyone please help us asap?

This is the key to your problem.
I'm not sure what Prompt is.
Would it make more sense to load .NET 3.5 SP1 on your development machine and target machine? Eliminate issues like this?

Hi guys.
In SilverLight we can use C#.NET or VB.NET for programming or we should use Javascript ?
Many thanks in advance
|

If you're using Silverlight 2, you can use C# or VB.NET. If it's pre version 2, you had to use JavaScript.
|
|
|
|

Thanks Pete. You truly are an expert.

So if we use C# or VB, it will be Server side ? yes ?
