  2. I have a Silverlight 1.1 application that leverages an ASMX web service. The web service is configured as scriptable. I have referenced System.Web.Extesions in order to use the Script Service attributes.

    I get the following error on when I attempt to run the appliation:

    Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.


    Any pointers? -bob

    Hmm.. never tried silverlight on iis7.


    Have you tested this on your regular account?

  4. I've gotten a little further and have some more information.

    The problem is with the web service and not the Silverlight application (at least as far as thie above problem is concerned).

    What I have found is that since my web service was built with VS2008 (Orcas) and was configured for scripting (requirement for AJAX and Silverlight), both my default account and my IIS7 account won't run it references a .Net 3.5 library that isnot installed in either environment. I rebuilt the web service using VS2005 and hosted it in my default account and it works fine.

    Now into the current problem:

    The problem I have now is that the async call to the web service fails on the client side within Silverlight.

    My applicationworks locally on my machine. The failure only happens when I try to host it. I am going to try some more debugging techniques using Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com) to see what is coming back from the service that might upset Silverlight.

    So at this point I am going to assume the problem is either with my code or a bug in Silverlight 1.1. I don't believe at this time it is a hosting issue. I will post more info as I dig deeper into the web service response. Stay tuned...

    Thanks!

    .NET 3.5 is not installed on either regular hosting / iis7 beta. MSFT has NOT release the go live license for .net 3.5 and we cannot make this available for customers.

  6. So far I'm not impressed with Microsoft's Rip off of Adobe Flex. Between Adobe Flash and Flex, they annihilate Microsoft in the Rich Internet Application department. This seems to be a Microsoft trend. Know anyone that owns a Zune? haha.

    Are you insinuating that Microsoft is not 100% original in everything they do? How dare you!
