Hi there,  thanks for the note on the patch!
 
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?
 
Nor do I have an app.config file in my project,  do I need one of those on the server? 
 
The deployment.pdf also says that the debuglog.xml will be in the log folder but I don't have anywhere in the project telling the app where the log folder is.
 
Just the fact that it's showing the grid columns is giving me faint hope that something is working.
 
Any suggestions would be welcome.

We've simplified some aspects of deployment in DevForce 2010 that may not yet be reflected in the documentation.  For example, for standard deployments, you may not need to use the app.config or EntityService.svc files anymore.  Also, check out the Snippets folder under Deployment for some more examples.

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

Found the Deployment.pdf in the instructional units so I'll do that tonight and see how it goes.

I'm coming from client server development with the Ideablade classic product and just starting our with silverlight.  I'm trying to get the hard parts out of the way before I actually start on the UI development (which is usually the fun stuff).  I want to use the project of "Silverlight App with Seperate Model projects" in VS2010 as an example to deploy.
 
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
