How to debug WCF service with Silverlight

Question

I have two solutions, one is the WCF service and the other one is the Silverlight. I would like to use the debugger on both solutions at the same time. The debugger for the WCF service automatically starts a ASP.NET development server. However, I have a hard time making my Silverlight client connecting to the ASP.NET development server. The error says that I'm lacking of the client domain policy file.

Ｄｏｅｓ　ａｎｙｏｎｅ　ｋｎｏｗ　ｗｈｅｒｅ　ｓｈｏｕｌｄ　Ｉ　ｐｕｔ　ｔｈｅ　clientaccesspolicy.xml　ｆｏｒ　ｔｈｅ　ASP.NET development server?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

clientaccesspolicy.xml needs to be in the root directory for the web server running the WCF service. In your case, this probably means the solution directory for the WCF application (if you're running the web server "in place").

You could also try using Fiddler or Firebug to determine exactly where the file is being requested.

Answer 2

Have a look at this blog entry by Tim Heuer which I found helpful in solving the same problem.
