Silverlight 3 & .Net RIA Services

[boufos]

Has anyone been successful deploying to DASP a SL3 app w/ July '09 release of the .Net RIA Services? Our small test app uses RIA services to view some records from a SQL 2008 Server hosted as well on DASP and while it works correctly on the local machine we receive a blank page when it is published to DASP using FTP built-in to VS2008 SP1.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

Hi,
Do you have all of the Microsoft RIA assemblies in your site's /bin/ folder?
I'm playing around with this and don't have an example on-line right now but do know that file list is pretty large and they are needed.
All the best,
Mark

Mark,

both:
System.Web.Ria.dll & System.Web.Ria.xml are in /bin....I am not sure what other RIA dlls are needed - we are reasearching but since it works fine on the local host we assumed that this the only dll needed.
Given that we are new to SilverLight / RIA environment our debuging skills are limited (we are learning as we are testing).

if you are not getting any error, it should not be a missing dll problem.

i would focus on the logic within the page.

...Yeah Bruce is right about that error if the assemblies are missing.
I have however been seeing some very strange errors with no error reporting in SL3.
One of these things will be in my next SL3 Webcast, SL3 kicking up the "install" window but no error reported, kinda strange when it does that. ;-)
All the best,
Mark

I cannot wait...How is the webcast date/time going to be communicated to us?

Thank You...

...Already started but these past couple of weeks have been murder;
Found out yesterday I tore tendons in my left arm.
At least now I know what's causing the pain. ;-)
Once the Webcasts are available they get published to DASPTV.com
All the best,
Mark

George, Did you find the solution to the blank page - I have a similar problem with an RIA services Silverlight application.
Regards,
Brian

...If either of you want me to take a look at the code I'll do my best to see what the trouble is. Could be good for the future SL3 webcasts too.
Just ZIP or RAR the project and any testing notes: wisemx@msftwise.com
All the best,
Mark

PS I'm sorry about taking so long with the webcasts but the injuries to my left arm is eating all my energies. ;-)
(That same arm, elbow, was rebuilt with metal back in 1980.)

Thanks for offering to look at the code. I have tracked the problem down to a mistake on my part.
All the best, Brian.

...Cool ;-)
