After last Friday's announcement, I'm just getting around to reading about the Silverlight 3 release. One of the first pages I visited was the Overview page, where it states, near the top of the page: Currently there are two runtimes available for users to experience Silverlight content. Windows Runtime - Mac Runtime B...

I've been struggling with a webservice that throws an ExecutionEngineException for the past day. I finally worked out that the Silverlight client doesn't like IEnumerable<> nor IList<> nor List<> as the return type. MyObject[] is fine though. I managed to reproduce it in a sample solution: Service description: [ServiceContract] ...

Hi, Now that I have installed Silverlight 3, I seem unable to build a Silverlight application for Silverlight 2. I have set my objects minRuntimeVersion to 2.0.31005.0, however users who do not have silverlight 3 are still prompted to update.

I'm using the CAG and I've got some issues using the TabControl region. I worked out that by marking the view (and NOT the PresentationModel) as IActiveAware I can get an event when the view is activated/deactivated. That works well when the composite is simple and the TabItem is the view. However, in my case I've got a composite inside...
Hello Everyone, I have an XBap system designed as a 3-layer application. The XBap client consumes the logic through a WCF Service using netTcpBinding. For easy of databinding and to be able to re use data validation built-in my business objects, I choosed to reference the business objects library from the xBap client instead of generat...
How persistent is isolated storage - does Silverlight treat it like a cache, deleting items when it needs more space, or only when the user or application request it? There also seems to be a wide variety of means to identify isolated storage - machine, application, domain, .... What I'm having trouble with is how these all relate to th...

Hello, I am working on a Silverlight v3 web app and I would like to secure access to the WCF service I am using to fetch my data. I currently have the WCF working just fine, but it doesn't require any user credentials. I'm not very experienced with this aspect of WCF, so my first idea was to add username and password parameters to eac...
I have a Silverlight 3 application which calls a traditional .NET Web Service (asmx) to get a list of records and then display it in a ListBox control (lstRecords.ItemsSource = myRecords). Any records could be added or updated or deleted at anytime and I would like my UI (records displayed in the ListBox control) to reflect the latest ch...
