When working with data and Silverlight there has often been the questions of wondering why when a service call fails that Silverlight returns the HTTP 404 status code. In fact I’ve written about troubleshooting those types of issues in the past and tools you can use to help investigate some problems. Still people mostly ask "if there is an exception, why is Silverlight telling me ‘not found’ instead of sending me the exception?'” Eugene Osovetsky from the connected systems team aims to answer those questions in a recent post with a little more detail than has been provided in...
Had enough media players, games, and animated shapes with Silverlight? How about integrating into some line of business applications? Microsoft produces an application called Microsoft CRM, now in it’s 4th release (those closer to the CRM information can correct me if I’m wrong…I’m actually not too familiar with the roadmap/releases of CRM). What is CRM? What you’d expect, a customer relationship management system…define your use of those systems as you wish. There are many CRM systems out there, but what struck me as interesting about MS CRM is based on a demonstration I saw about a year ago when v4...
A while back I pondered doing a “live” debug session with people who were/are working with Silverlight 2 and data access via services, etc. I really like a live concept because it allows people to ask real questions and feels more conversational than a one-way presentation. After some consideration, I’m not sure I could quite guarantee the environment I was looking for to accomplish this type of style.
So as a second best, I’ve set up a webcast: Troubleshooting Silverlight Data Access. I hope to keep the question channel open during the webcast though and answer as many questions as possible. ...
I’ve got a thought lately and curious if I’m thinking crazy. You see, probably the most asked questions I get are around working with services within Silverlight. Although I’ve got some helpful (at least I think they’re helpful) posts on the subject: Silverlight, 404 and some tool help Updates for Beta 2 Working with Syndicated Data Calling WCF/ASMX Services Calling REST Services Cross-domain policy files ...
I ran into an interesting situation last week…the desire to access some of my Amazon S3 services from within a Silverlight application.
Amazon Simple Storage Solution (S3) is a pay service provided Amazon for object storage ‘in the cloud.’ Although there is no UI tool provided by Amazon to navigate your account in S3, a SOAP and REST API are available for developers to integrate S3 information into their applications or other uses. You can view more information about Amazon S3 on their site.
What is S3?
Since S3 is a pretty flexible service, it can be used for many different things including...
I’ve been getting a few notes on issues relating to people trying Silverlight beta 2 and WCF or other services. The most common issue I’m seeing reported is “my exception is showing a 404-not found error message, but the service is there and works!” Okay, there could be several things happening here, but let’s tackle the “make sure it is plugged in” type situations. I don’t mean to make light of the error, because at first I, too, was banging my head against a wall. Sometimes it helps to have a second set of eyes or a deeper understanding...
We were all jumping for joy when Silverlight 2 beta 1 was released and the ability to connect to services was more readily/easily available to us. For discoverable services that provided a WSDL we were quickly able to implement them using the Add Service Reference capability in Visual Studio 2008. Beta 2 brings a few changes to the world of services that you should know about. I’ll do my best to recap some of them here. Generating a WCF Service In beta 1 when we created a WCF service for use in Silverlight, we used the “WCF Service” template...
Wait! Don’t throw out your JSON services!
The Situation
You’ve made an investment in exposing some services for client script consumption. Most likely if you did it in the past 2 years, that involved exposing your data as JSON formatted objects.
What is JSON?
It is a text-based, human-readable format for representing simple data structures and associative arrays (called objects)
Perhaps a search service returns a list of people formatted using your custom “Person” object and you’ve been using this in your AJAX applications for a while now. Maybe your JSON data looks something like this:
[{"City":"Queen Creek","FirstName":"Tim","LastName":"Heuer",
"Website":"http:\/\/timheuer.com\/blog\/"},
{"City":"Portland","FirstName":"Scott","LastName":"Hanselman",
"Website":"http:\/\/hanselman.com\/blog\/"},
{"City":"Redmond","FirstName":"Scott","LastName":"Guthrie",
"Website":"http:\/\/weblogs.asp.net\/scottgu"},

The first of my Silverlight videos have posted which cover some networking stuff that I’ve been blogging about already. If you want to see a walk through of things you might have already read, please take a look at them:

There are more coming and I’m interested in hearing your comments so please give them. If you have suggestions for things that...
I’ve started a dialog with a few of you about getting Silverlight and service integration working, specifically with ASP.NET web services (and even WCF ones). A few have downloaded some of my samples, but others have started from scratch. A few have reported getting some interesting errors, ASYNC_blahblah and NotFound errors specifically. While this was boggling my mind (as I wasn’t getting them), a reader’s comments pointed me along the lines of something…he mentioned “maybe it is because my web service is ASP.NET 2.0 and not 3.5” – of which that shouldn’t be the case, so I went to test...
recently i've been getting a few notes/questions about working with web services and asp.net ajax. my colleague, rob bagby completed a series of great web casts last year covering the topic of the ajax libraries in detail, one of which deals with web services. there are also two webcasts that deal with calling WCF services using the ajax libraries. i highly recommend checking them out!
