In my webapp I created a folder called Services. In the folder I created a class called AvailableStepTypesBuilder.
 
In the class I have a method called RetrieveAvailableSteps() defined as follows:
 

public class AvailableStepTypesBuilder : IKnownType

{

[AllowRpc]

public static ObservableCollection<EventStepType> RetrieveAvailableSteps(Event e)

{

}

}
 
Now I want to call this from my client side. I am unsure what to use for the type name.
 

public void FetchAvailableSteps()

{

string typeName = ???????????;

string methodName = "RetrieveAvailableSteps";

return (ObservableCollection<EventStepType>) Mgr.InvokeServerMethodAsync(typeName, methodName, currentEvent);

}

Hi BillG,
 
TypeName is the assembly-qualified type name.
i.e.
 
TopNamespace.SubNameSpace.ContainingClass+NestedClass, MyAssembly
 
in your case, it should be something like:
 
"MyProject.AvailableStepTypesBuilder, MyProjectWeb"

Do you mean like this?
 

string typeName = "LaborWare2011.Services.AvailableStepTypesBuilder, LaborWare2011Web";

string methodName = "RetrieveAvailableSteps";

Do I place the class AvailableStepTypesBuilder in the Web project or the Silverlight project?

It looks about right.
 
Place your AvailableStepTypesBuilder class in the Web project (i.e. Server)

Can one remote service method call another remote service method synchronously instead of asynchronously?

?
 
Not sure I understand. Can you clarify?
 
The 1st remote service is in the server. Who would it be calling remotelly?

Sorry, can it call a method in the same remote class synchronously?

You should be able to do that.
