I'm trying to understand DataForm as implemented in the November 2009 toolkit and I can't work out how to bind a ComboBox to an enum. Does anyone know how the DataForm does this automatically? Background First I created a class and an Enum, following this article and allowed the DataForm to generate the fields. The DataForm generated...

I'm getting a very unhelpful CommunicationException when attempting to call a WCF service from Silverlight 3. The message of the exception is "The remote server returned an error: NotFound." Each inner exception parrots that same message. Is there a problem with my setup that could be causing this issue? Here's my setup. The WCF ser...
The functionality: Users can draw rectangles on a defined area of the screen, by clicking the left mouse button and dragging to create the desired sized rectangle. A similar example would be re-sizing a rectangle in BLEND. I am also open to options where the rectangle already exists, and users can resize using a drag/resize handle. Id...
I've got a small DataForm and I want to set the focus on the first TextBox. I'm using the Novermber 2009 Toolkit. I've named the TextBox and tried using .Focus() from the DataForm's loaded event. I see it get focus for one cursor 'blink' and then it's gone. I'm trying to work out if this is an artefact of the DataForm or something el...
hi guys, I been getting a really nasty error when updating a "Service Reference" for a WCF web service when using VisualStudio 2010 Beta 2 so I have switched to using SLsvcUtil.exe to generate the client proxy to use in my Silverlight 3 application. Problem is that I noted that before, when using "Add Service Reference" from within Vi...

I'm working on a Silverlight project with the WCF RIA Services beta. I'm using the BlahDomainService.metadata.cs file to validate a field by adding validation attributes, e.g. [RegularExpression]. It was working so I'm trying to put the Error message in a resource file and now it isn't working. The RegEx validation isn't being run on ...
To facilitate control reuse we created a solution with three separate projects: a control library, Silverlight client, and ASP.NET backend. The control library has no reference to the RIA Services-generated data model classes so when it needs to interact with it, we use reflection. This has worked fine so far but I've hit a bump. I ha...
We are developing a Silverlight LOB app. It would be great for users to be able to click a help button on the top of a page and have the app walk them through the functions of the page as though the movements and key strokes were pre-recorded. I've not really familiar with automation on any GUI framework but googling around it seems ...
I'm working on a small silverlight application that involves passing some data between javascript and silverlight. I am also using the silverlight virtual earth control.

Silverlight's dataInput:Label and dataInput:DescriptionViewer controls provide a useful function through their ability to bind to a TextBox.

Silverlight experts out there, I need some help. I used Deep Zoom Composer to generate the Silverlight application for a large map image(20MB+) for a client.
