Devforce + Intersoft MVVM project - Wards Quickie

It looks like you are missing a dll on the web server - it's possible it's not copied to the bin directory. Do you have a ClientUIMVVMApp8.dll in there? It may help to attach a sample project demonstrating this.

Does your DebugLog.xml show any different this time? If it's picking up your dll it should show this:

<entry id="3" timestamp="2011-02-18T08:37:53" username="" source="IdeaBlade.Core.Composition.CompositionHost:.ctor">Probe Assemblies: FrameworkTest.Models.Northwind, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null :: FrameworkTest.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null  If this list is unnecessarily large, use CompositionHost.SearchPatterns to modify the search critieria for probed assemblies. If this list does not contain the assembly(ies) holding your a) domain model, b) custom interface implementations, and c) POCO/known types then your application may not work correctly. Ensure that these assemblies are available in the exe/bin folder, and if using CompositionHost.SearchPatterns that the patterns are set appropriately.</entry>

As you can see, it has picked up my domain model "FrameworkTest.Models.Northwind" and also "FrameworkTest.Web"

In yours I see it has only probed the web dll, which is not the domain model project.

ClientUIMVVMApp8.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

I've figured it out!

I don't use VB.Net with SL so I don't know if there is a better solution, but it is because your namespaces do not match. C# puts the full namespace in automatically, but VB.NET decides what it should be for you.  

Insert this at the top of the Model.IB.Designer.vb class right below the IdeaBladeLicense attribute

#If SILVERLIGHT Then
Namespace Web
#End If

and insert this at the very bottom

#If SILVERLIGHT Then
End Namespace
#End If

I'm sure there is a better solution, but this should get you up and running for now until someone at IdeaBlade can give you a better solution.

Also, I didn't realize until you posted your sample that the model is in the web project, so you don't need the other dll in there.

No problem. I pass through once in a while, I'll let you know if I'm coming anytime soon!

One thing to be aware of, each time you save your model it will overwrite this, unless you update the template.

Until IdeaBlade explains the best way to achieve this, you can go into your Model1.edmx.tt file and replace it with this:

<#@ template  language="C#" debug="true" hostSpecific="true" #>
<#@ output extension=".ReadMe" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="System.Core.dll" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.DTE.dll" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.OM.CodeGenerator.dll" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="IdeaBlade.EntityModel.Edm.Metadata.dll" #>
<#@ import namespace="System" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Reflection" #>
<#@ import namespace="IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.DTE" #>
<#@ import namespace="IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.OM.CodeGenerator" #>
<#@ import namespace="IdeaBlade.EntityModel.Edm.Metadata" #>
<#
	// Source for this file located at: C:\Users\Terry\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\IdeaBlade, Inc\IdeaBlade OM Designer Extension\6.0.8.0\DomainModelTemplate.tt
	// Model1.edmx  <--- This is needed so that "Transform Related Text Templates On Save" works correctly.
	var template = new NewTemplate(this);
	template.Generate();
#>
<#+ 
  public class NewTemplate : DomainModelTemplate
    {
        public NewTemplate(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.TextTransformation textTransformation)
            : base(textTransformation)
        {
        }
 
        protected override void WriteNamespaceHeader(string namespaceTxt)
        {
            this.WriteLine("#IF SILVERLIGHT\nNamespace Web\n#End If");
            this.PushIndent(this.IndentText);
        }
 
        protected override void WriteNamespaceFooter(string namespaceTxt)
        {
            this.PopIndent();
            this.WriteLine("#IF SILVERLIGHT\nEnd Namespace\n#End If");
        }
    }
#>

This will automatically reapply the namespaces each time you regenerate the model.

Another great solution, thanks for the help guys.
