Desklighter for Silverlight 3

Evan12 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:05:52 GMT

Hi there,

I have a question regarding the use of DeskLighter to create a local silverlight executable. Now i'm wondering if it's possible to use DeskLighter if you have silverlight web application that gets resources from a database. Is it possible for it to run on your local machine with the database created on there and what not? Feedback would be much appreciated.

Evan,

Thanks

problem running silverlight

h_olson75 — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:36:35 GMT

I installed silverlight through netflix so I could watch movies online. The installation was successful, but the program won't run. It keeps looping to the "Install Silverlight Now" message. Does anyone know how to fix this ridiculous problem?

Polling Duplex Silverlight Client trouble

Aashish Gupta — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:10:59 GMT

I am loosing my connection to the polling duplex service from my silverlight client.

In my application i want that if the client browser is opened for a time period of 6 hrs he/she should recieve messages from polling duplex no matter if he is active or not.

But what's happening is when my web i.e silverlight client remains inactive for some time the polling duplex is not sending messages to the client.

Is it due to the settings in the polling duplex or due to the settings in the silverlight client i am confused in that.

My service is hosted as a console application not within the IIS

Given below is how i connect to the duplex service

1     private void ConnectToDuplexService()
2            {
3                DuplexServiceClient client = new DuplexServiceClient(
4                  new PollingDuplexHttpBinding(),              
5                new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:8000/DuplexService/"));
6    
7                client.ReceiveJudgeScoreReceived += client_ReceiveJudgeScoreReceived;
8                client.ReceiveLengthReceived += client_ReceiveLengthReceived;
9                client.ReceiveCurrentAthleteReceived += client_ReceiveCurrentAthleteReceived;
10               client.ReceiveRoundCompleteReceived += client_ReceiveRoundCompleteReceived;
11               client.ReceiveRoundSettingsReceived += client_ReceiveRoundSettingsReceived;
12               client.SubscribeAsync(CId);
13   
14   
15               if (client.State != CommunicationState.Opened)
16               {
17                   client.Abort();
18                   client = new DuplexServiceClient(
19                       new PollingDuplexHttpBinding(),                    
20                   new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:80/DuplexService/"));
21               }
22   
23               /* ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(state =>
24                {
25                    while (true)
26                    {
27                        Thread.Sleep(10000);
28                        if (client.State != CommunicationState.Opened)
29                        {
30                            client = new DuplexServiceClient(
31                                new PollingDuplexHttpBinding(),                            
32                          new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:8000/DuplexService/"));
33                        }
34                    }
35                });*/
36           }

Debugging issue oob apps in silverlight 4

Wardy — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:43:41 GMT

Hey guys,

yet again another promising release or silverlight, but yet again I install it and vs2010 to find more issues than solutions.
Well ... I can't really complain too much, it is a beta, but my issue seems to be somthing that should have been simple back in version 1.

So here's my problem :

I run my silverlight app and it looks good in my browser but I want it to run oob, so I install it and run it, no problems there too, even had very little issue doing the relevant configuration (big bonus that, well done guys).

Then I tried to execute the newly installed oob app directly with visual studio and attach the debugger only to be told that I need to install my app.

That's odd .. I have a shortcut on my desktop that strongly disagrees with that error ... so I figured ok it's just a one off.

I remove the app and reinstall it, try again, and no luck.

Does anyone know how to install and attach VS to an oob app that otherwise works perfectly fine?

kobruleht — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:10:16 GMT

My SL application uses asmx web service.

I perfomed clean install of Windows 2003 64-bit server in virtual maschine, installed all updates, ran

aspnet_regiis.exe –i

successfully and set IIS home directory to my application root.

Typing http://localhost in IE8 returns error

---------------------------
Message from webpage
---------------------------
Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 2104
Category: InitializeError
Message: 2104 An error has occurred.

---------------------------

---------------------------

Trying to run asmx file web service fom borwser returns 404 error.

IIS log below shows that access to ClientBin\MyApp.xap and StockService.asmx files returns 404 error.

I verified that those files are present. Same application runs OK in 32bit Vista and XP.

Keep getting prompted to install Silverlight

NiteZephyr — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 11:56:33 GMT

I had Silverlight 2 installed and everything was fine. Since I upgraded the browser from IE7 to IE8, I got prompted to install Silverlight. I uninstalled Silverlight 2, it's directory and cleared the IE cache. I installed Silverlight 3 successfully. I thought great I got the latest version. Surprise! When I go to silverlight.net it prompts me to install again. I install again and get an error it already exist try uninstall and reinstall. I do that to find out I get the same thing over and over. I check the add-ons and Silverlight is enabled. I only have five other add-ons, 2 of which are microsoft. This is a clean install of XP Pro sp3 using IE8, which is supported. After wiping all Silverlight existance... directory, cache, registry, and starting over; problem does not go away. Ideas?

manysocks — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:52:49 GMT

Something is wrong with the silverlight I have installed on my computer.

I get this message repeatedly:

Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package silverlight.msi in the box below.

When do I get the above message?

1. Important Microsoft updates cannot be installed - I get the above message.

2. I cannot "uninstall" Silverlight - I get the above message.

3. I cannot INSTALL Silverlight - I get the above message.

So, am i doomed to never be able to update Microsoft security updates?

I have tried everything in my limited tech head. I am stumped.

Thank You,

Unable to create .xap file using MSBuild

peddk — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:18:31 GMT

Hi,

I am unable to create .xap file by executing MSBuild script on Windows Server 2008. When the same script is executed on Windows Server 2003 it worked well, just by removing readonly property of .xap file. But when the same script is executed on Server 2008 it is not able to create .xap file even the readonly property of the file is set to false through script, its just copying the existing file to drop location without creating new file.

Is it related to operating system?

Thanks

Scrollbar issues with silverlight 3.0

guhanraman — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:33:25 GMT

Am just a user of silverlight to watch online streaming videos. Am not a developer that uses silverlight. Here is my issue. My provider just switched to silverlight and am having trouble since then to use the scrolling functionality for recorded videos(it used to work fine with flash earlier). Basically with silverlight am not able to scroll (basically go forward or backward in the player to play from random location), the control just doesn't work. Happens with both IE and firefox.

Could you please help?

Silverlight and Windows Media Player Core

thenews — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:22:34 GMT

Hi, on this website http://www.radio-canada.ca/audio-video/

Installation with IE6

Before I install Silverlight 3:
Flash run the Web Interfaces and Windows Media Player Core play the video

After the installation of SL 3:
Flash run the Web Interface and Silverlight 3 play the video, ActiveX of Windows Media Player Core still enable but no problem

Installation with IE7

Before I install Silverlight 3:
Flash run the Web Interfaces and Windows Media Player Core play the video

After the installation of SL 3:
Flash run the Web Interface and Silverlight 3 CANT play the video, ActiveX of Windows Media Player Core still enable and when i turn off the add-on of silverlight it work again.

When i uninstall Adobe still the same. I think it have something to do with SL3 or Media Player ActiveX and IE7 am i wrong ?

Silverlight 4 Developer Runtime error 1509

j1mb0 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:40:25 GMT

Using IE8 with SL3 (no prior problems) on Vista. Just installed VS2010, SL4, etc, etc. On running shiny new (local) SL4 app web I was told to go download new SL4 runtime. So, to be safe I first uninstalled the SL3 runtime, then downloaded and ran the SL4 Silverlight-Developer.exe, but got message id 1509 "Microsoft Silverlight is not supported on your operating environment."
Er, where did I do wrong?

I did not use the chainer... everyrthing went OK from the Getting Started page - can't open project files ?

tibby99 — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 22:21:42 GMT

a.) I installed VS2008 - SP1 successfully.

b.) I already had Blend version 2 with the SP installed. This was prior to installing Silverlight which should be OK.

c.) Then I installed the Silverlight Tools For Visual Studio SP-1 which states that it will install

This download will install the following:

Silverlight 2 developer runtime
Silverlight 2 software development kit
KB956453 for Visual Studio 2008 SP1
and/or
KB956485 for Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with SP1
Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1
and/or
Silverlight Tools for Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with SP1

Note: I checked my VS-2008 after the install and I have KB956453 installed whch would indicate the Silverlight install went OK :

Update for Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite - ENU (KB956453) KB956453
This update is for Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite - ENU.
If you later install a more recent service pack, this update will be uninstalled automatically.
For more information, visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956453.

The I installed the Silverlight Toolkit. The only exception to the sequence on http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ was that I had Blend 2 already installed.

The problem I have is that when I go to open up any of the Silverlight sample VS projects I get this error:

Microsoft Silverlight Tools is unable to open the project due to a missing patch ( WHICH ONE ???? ) for Visual Studio. Please download the latest update from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LInkId=120032

I'm stuck in a circular loop where I go to that link install and then I still can't open any of the sample Silverlight projects. I am running Windows Server 2K8 and in general this is a working clean developer box.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Is there any way to escape this never-ending "better" experience?
