It's already a late reply. I've been busy for the past months.

Jonathan Shen – MSFT suggestion made my SL App works now. I uninstall all SL related components and then reinstall all over again. But I now use the SL Tools final release not the Beta one.

So that did fix it for me. Just needed to redeploy the site. Guess I'll wear the dunce cap for the rest of the week.

I have checked and you are right! i looked in the bin and the dll version is of the application is version 1.0! and i have Silverlight 2.0 installed, so i think one way is to install SilverLight 1.0 until the samples have been migrated to Version 2.0 who knows when that will happen....it funny there is already a download for silverlight 2 but the sample apps are still in Silverlight 1....just greeeeaaaaaat!

I run the app by launching from the IDE in debug mode. Just clicking run while in debug.

I think I've solved my problem. The test site actually wasn't redeployed yesterday. This means that the silverlight components in the bin directory are still beta 2 and are generating the beta 2 script code when the site is accessed.

I was thinking it was something on my dev box so I uninstalled the sdk and vs2008 tools. Once I get them reinstalled, I'll republish and test this out. I'm gonna go out on a limb though and figure it'll fix my problem though.

Hi umm what do you mean you are able to run it "by Launching the IDE, do you mean when you run the application by hitting F5 the browser displays your app correctly?

Hi Jonathan,

Ok i have looked at my test aspnet page that hists the SliverLight application and this the what i have:

%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.Silverlight" Namespace="System.Web.UI.SilverlightControls"

TagPrefix="asp" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>DiggSample</title>

</head>

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>

<asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/DiggSample.xap" MinimumVersion="2.0.31005.0" Width="100%" Height="100%" />

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Hence the version is silverLight 2, so what do i need to do resolve this?

lincolnatwood — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:27:41 GMT

I am having the exact same problem. I have developed the app, I am able to run it by launching the IDE, but when I visit the deployed site, I just get the install link.

Any known cure?

Hi Jonathan, here is the Link

http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/

the Scot Guthrie ' 8 part tutorial, I can even get past part 2 of it, due to this issue....do you mean the Test page? that host's the SilverLight App the Html and the asp pages as there are 2 pages(Html and aspnet generated) to host the Silverlight app from this tutorial.

Hi ShadowOfTheBeast,

Please check its silverlight version by going through the page, which is hosted the Silverlight plugin. For example,

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
        <div style="height:100%;">
            <asp:Silverlight ID="Xaml1" runat="server" Source="~/ClientBin/DataGridAccess.xap" MinimumVersion="2.0.31005.0" Width="100%" Height="100%" />
        </div>

It is a sample for Silverlight 2 RTW. Some of the samples are not migrated to the latest platform. Thanks for understanding.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Hi ShadowOfTheBeast,

I'm afraid that the answer is yes. Would you please give me the link? I will check it to see whether it is using Silverlight 1. Most of the websites, which are using Silverlight 1, have been migrated to Silverlight 2.

Best regards,

Jonathan
