Not sure what your question is - the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file contains information that is used to find the web service.
Hope that helps.

I tried to make that clear by displaying my question in italics: how does the Silverlight application know where the code for the Web service is stored when it makes calls to it?
Abhinav S wrote: the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file contains information that is used to find the web service.
The ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file has a client endpoint element defined which of course has an address attribute. Since making my first post in this thread I've been trying to figure out the answer to my question myself. As near as I can figure out, the service needs to be in a folder named bin that is relative to the endpoint address. When VS2010 makes a new Silveright Web Application project, it places the .svc in the root of localhost, or the root of your project. Then when you build the project, the service assembly winds up in the bin folder off the .Web project.
So presumably when you deploy all this to a live Website, the .svc file goes into the root of the Website and the service assembly goes into a directory called bin that lies off the root of the Website. So I did this and now for the first time since I tried accessing my service from the Website itself, everything works!
I've been pulling my hair out over this for two extremely frustrating and depressing weeks and was ready to bring a consulting firm into my house for $250 an hour to solve my problem. I suspected it would only taken an expert five minutes to find out what was wrong because my Web Application project had no problem at all contacting my service when everything was run from my local PC. And I was right! Once I understood what is written in the previous paragraph, it took me all of two minutes to solve my problem!
Judging from the number of unanswered threads about this on the Web, there seems to be a huge problem of being able to contact the service perfectly fine when the project is executed from within VS2010 and failing miserably when it is deployed to the live Website. Tons of unanswered questions are out there! I really feel for all these people, because until this morning I've been suffering from the same misery for the last two weeks!
However, even though my real concern is now satisfied, I'm not going to mark this thread as SOLVED because my question wasn't "how do I connect to my service when it is located in my live Website," but how does the Silverlight application know where the code for the Web service is stored when it makes calls to it?
You see, I'm still not sure what the answer to this question is or what the CodeBehind attribute in the .svc has to do with anything, since it doesn't point to anything at all that exists (explicitly) on the Website! So my question is more related to how all the plumbing works rather than about a problem I'm still having. Once I have the answer to this question, I should probably write a Code Project article on how to manually deploy Web Application Projects, since judging from the horrendous amount of unanswered threads on the Web asking this question, more easy to follow instructions on how to do this are sorely needed.

Did you try removing the CodeBehind attribute? Its probably not even needed since the Service attribute specifies the namespace and class of the code. It says Service instead of Assembly because the @ directive just points to the service class, not a different assembly from the rest of the project.
I haven't used a WCF service in a long time so take this with a grain of salt.

I just tried removing the CodeBehind attribute and the Silverlight application still correctly accessed the service. So you're absolutely correct. It plays no part in finding the service.

I want to access some of the public controls in MainWindow from a separate class in the same application domain.
how can I do this?
|
|
|
|
|
Try
Application curApp = Application.Current;<br />
Window mainWnd = curApp.MainWindow;
You can then access public mainWnd objects.
Note: I have not tried this myself.
|
|
|
|
|
Application curApp = Application.Current;
MainWindow mainWnd = curApp.MainWindow;

I'm working on a SL3 Navigation App in VS2008. By default it created Assets/Styles.xaml. I have been trying to reorganize my xaml resources by moving groups of resources into logically assigned files, and I can't resolve the following issue:
I created a file called "FMBrushesAndColors.XAML", and I was careful to duplicate the property settings that are used by the original "Styles.XAML" fiule.
I then added the file to the App.XAML MergedDictionaries group.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/FMColorsAndBrushes.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/Styles.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
The problem is that when the app loads, it claims it can't find resources that are defined in that new resource file.
I've also tried creating a MergedDictionaries section in the original Styles.XAML file (and removing the resource line from App.XAML), but I get the same error.
I then tried adding the following code to the app.xaml.cs file, but it throws an InvalidOperationException.
public App()
{
this.Startup += this.Application_Startup;
this.UnhandledException += this.Application_UnhandledException;
AddResourceDictionary("Views/FMColorsAndBrushes.xaml");<br />
InitializeComponent();
}
<br />
private void AddResourceDictionary(string filename)
{
ResourceDictionary dict = new ResourceDictionary();
try
{
dict.Source = new Uri(filename, UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
if (dict != null)
{
this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(dict);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
Does anyone know the secret to using multiple resource dictionaries in a silverlight app?
SOLUTION =====================================
Alright. I was using some of the resources defined in one dictionary in two other two dictionaries. The rules are as follows (as near as I can determine):
Give dictionaries A, B, and C...
0) If A requires a resource in B, you need to include the following in dictionary A:
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/AssembblyName;component/Assets/B.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
1) To merge dictionaries A and C, you need to do this in the app.xaml:
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/A.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Assets/C.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Notice that you don't have to include B in app.xaml.

I'm more interested in doing it in the XAML. I only tried that because I wanted to illustrate what I had tried.

Just to make sure - your resources start with the <ResourceDictionary> tag right?
|
|
|
|
|
With what tag?

I found the answer (see OP).

You could also take back what you said in the Lounge about Silverlight.

Never.

Hi All,
I am developing a WYSIWYG editor using Silverlight 4.0 RichText box. I am able to insert images in the RichText box editor, but not able to add shapes (Line, Eclipse, Rectangle etc.)
Can anyone provide me a pointer to do so?
Thanks.

What have you tried so far?
Did you try
myrichTextBox.Selection.Insert(container);
where container is an layout control (say, a stackpanel) containing a shape.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Abhinav for your reply. I tried inserting a shape using UIControl.
My requirement is to add shapes like rectangle, ellipse with the same functionality (resize, backcolor, shadow etc) as provided by Word or Visio.
I will try the option suggested by you and will let you know.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am a beginner in WPF and following Sams WPF in 24 hrs. There is an exercise to do a FontViewer application using grid which displays the list of system fonts and let the user choose any font and view the corresponding font applied on a sample text. I tried using a GRIDSPLITTER which is not resizing at all. Here is the code.

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="190.667*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="387.333*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Border Grid.ColumnSpan="2"

</Window>
Please help me in spotting the mistake.
Thanks.
