Are you placing the Silverlight scripts on the loading ASPX page?

What IIS7 file manager? Explain that one please, curious. http://community.discountasp.net/emoticons/wink.gif

Sorry if this topic has been beaten to death, but I'm just getting into the actual deployment of a Silverlight in ASP. I'm using the IIS7 beta, have uploaded the project to the ftp; no problem. However, when I attempt to view the site I get the well known 404.

Here's how I have the xaml embedded in the default aspx page.

<form id='form1' runat='server'>
<div>
<asp:ScriptManager ID='ScriptManager1' runat='server'/>
<cc1:Xaml ID='Xaml2' runat='server' XamlUrl='~/Page.xaml' Height='668.789px' Width='851.955px'/>
</div>
</form>

If I use the default html page as the startup it works fine, but I get the 404 trying to use the aspx. Also, in the IIS7 mgr, if I try to browse, right click file and select browse, the aspx I get the 404 whereas the html file shows up just fine..

Need some help getting up and running with the aspx page guys, any help would be appreciated.

I think I found the problem, or at least a workaround at this point.. I was creating a simple ASP.NET Web Application with C# code behind for Silverlight 2.0. This may have been the wrong choice. I recreated the same web site in a ASP.NET AJAX Futures Web Application and all almost worked right out of the gate without any need for placing any Javascript references in the loading aspx page.. I had received a server error which showed that the System.Data.DataSetExtensions were not able to be loaded. At this point of the site's infancy I gambled and commented that line out of the Web.config and it's now serving the aspx page with my Silverlight content.

Previously I did not have the Custom errors tag set to off so I didn't get the failure info..

I'm sorry, I was simply referring to the IIS7 manager that I can manage my instance of the beta IIS7 instance for DASP.

Thanks for the response it gave me a starting place to learn.
