I can't see why that would have been the problem but I then thought I would start from scratch and try the tutorial again.  I called it SimpleSteps2 and coded it and uploaded it to the web and voila,  it worked.

 

Thanks for all your help especially on a late friday night!

 

Now that this is working I find it hard to believe how easy it really was.  I also think the deployment of the silverlight project is a heck of a lot easier than asp.net! 

 

I also thought getting it hosted on DiscountAsp.net would have been harder but it wasn't.  All of their directories and mimetypes etc are all setup properly.  There's not much to do except put the files in the right place and make a simple change to the web.config to enable the multisomethingorother. 

 

Considering it was a few hours to build the simplest project and get it running on a web page without having any knowledge of Silverlight, WCF and a only a basic knowledge of ASP.net I'm feeling pretty good about the rest of the project!

 

Thanks

The error is a simple "Not Found"

I finally have a debuglog.xml but it is 0 size and when I try to transfer it from the FTP it says it is in use.  I'm thinking I can take down the website but then it might not write to the debuglog.

 

I'm really new to SL so I will research how to add logging into the async connect callback to the entitymanager. 

 

Thanks

 

 

 

I even looked at the other post about deployment and put in

 

 <client>
      <endpoint name="EntityService"
                address="http://mywebsite/EntityService.svc/sl"
                binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="customBinaryBinding"
                contract="IdeaBlade.EntityModel.IEntityServiceContractAsync"
                />

So just to go through what I've done:

 

1) Created silverlight project using the same connection string that would be used on the discountasp.net server

1a) added Loaded += delegate { DataContext = new MainPageViewModel(); }; to the MainPage.xaml.cs

 

Log = new ObservableCollection<string>();
WriteToLog("Initializing View Model");
DD_Tables = new ObservableCollection<DD_Table>();
var mgr = new SQL2008_673586_timeentryEntities();
var query = mgr.DD_Table;
query.ExecuteAsync(op => op.Results.ForEach(DD_Tables.Add));
WriteToLog("End of event");

1c) put a bunch of other code required in different places following the SimpleSteps demo.

2) Created a bin, clientbin and log directories in the root of the website.

3) copied everything from the BIN directory in the project to the bin directory of the website

4) Copied the xap file from the project clientbin to the clientbin web folder

5) Copied the default.aspx, global.aspx, silverlight.js, web.config to the root of the website.

 

That's all I did. I didn't change the web.config in anyway nor did I change permissions on files on the webserver anywhere.  The anonymous user on discountasp.net has write access to the files and folders.

 

What did I miss?

 

 

 

The details:

 

So I created an even simpler silverlight application from the tour pdf's and used it to connect to the tables up hosted in my SQL DB at DiscountAsp.net.

 

Runs fine on my local machine and when I put it up on the site using the directions from the "Deploying to IIS7" instructions from the Deployment.PDF no errors occur BUT there is no data in the grid.  I do notice that the grid knows the columns in the table so it has to be connecting to the database somehow right?

 

I added the logging to the application shown in 100SLV tour pdf's and no errors are occuring in the application that I can see.

 

I use SQL logins to connect to the discountASP.net server and the connection string will be the same as when it's running on my local machine so I don't have to change anything there.

 

I do see the snippets in the depployment section have ones called sample n-tier config files and as well the deployment.pdf lists something about "11. Copy any .aspx files, the web.config, Global.asax, EntityService.svc, EntityServer.svc, and Silverlight.js files to the application folder".  I don't have any EntityService.svc files in my project,  should I?

 

 

 

 

 

You may also want to grab the latest DevForce patch from this thread as it addresses a configuration issue:

 

 

Does anyone have a quick cheat sheet or list of instructions on how a person would deploy this application to DiscountASP.net with a SQL server backend? 

 

I know it is kind of lazy to send out an e-mail asking for something that people have bashed their heads over for hours and hours and finally at 3:00 in the morning they get that A-Ha moment and everything works perfectly.  Although I've had a lot of success with the classic product so I'm assuming that the Silverlight product will be the same.

 

I don't really want to spend hours and hours figuring out something that someone already did.  If I have to, of course, I'll push up my sleeves and get to work.

 

Thanks
