Hi,

 There are some changes needs to be done when you deploy on production server.

1. First you should deploy WCF project and there you need to play with Web.Config file a bit.Than if you have used hard coded approach for your Service reference, you need to update those references to newly deployed WCF project. Here cross domain issue may come if your WCF project and Silverlight are not on same web server.

2. After rebuilding the silverlight project, you need to deploy the Silverlight project's Web project (the asp.net one).

If you get any problem while deployment regarding WCF or Silverlight, post here and I will help you out.

Hi, you need not to use MSI package for deploying the Silverlight project.

Jay ,

mine is  a product development , so i need to get the Product packaged and placed in a common share for registered clients or provide a cd install for my sales team ...

i also need to set up the empty DB in the client's sql server ....

so i am in need of a package creation tool \ project which will install my product on IIS with a one click deployment or any other new approaches..
