Have a look at their crossdomain.xml policy file and you'll see why Siliverlight will not let you do this:

http://api.clickatell.com/crossdomain.xml

What you need to do is create your own service on the same server that your Silverlight App is served from, and have that service make the call.

HI, as you can see, clientpolicy.xml must be on the server( your application tries to download it but it can't find)....

So you have to put it on the server, not in your application ;)

Mark this post as answer if it solves your problem ;)

Bye

Do you mean that the remote server (api.clickatell.com)

I try to access have to be the clientaccesspolicy.xml existing ?

This is what I obtain from Fiddler

GET http://api.clickatell.com/clientaccesspolicy.xml
404 Not Found

Thanks for your response

I define a clientaccesspolicy.xml in my web application that contains this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<access-policy>
<cross-domain-access>
    <allow-from http-request-headers="*">
      <domain uri="*"/>
    </allow-from>
    <grant-to>
      <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>
    </grant-to>
</cross-domain-access>
</access-policy>

without success

Could you tell me what is missing ?

thanks

Fred

Have you created a crossdomain file on your server? The error you're getting looks like a crossdomain security issue.

webClient DownloadStringAsync failed

I successfully send http request from winform C# application (see code1)
but from silverlight (see code2) I obtain an error.(see error)

Peharps the problem is that my server is https and the remote is also https.

How I modify my server to be http ???

Thanks in advance
Fred

code1 (Winform C# succeeded)

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {

                WebClient client = new WebClient();
                // Add a user agent header in case the requested URI contains a query.
                client.Headers.Add("user-agent", "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.0.3705;)");
                client.QueryString.Add("user", "AAA");
                client.QueryString.Add("password", "1111111");
                client.QueryString.Add("api_id", "3126312");
                client.QueryString.Add("to", "972545665417");
                client.QueryString.Add("text", "This is an example message");
                string baseurl = "http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg";
                Stream data = client.OpenRead(baseurl);
                StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(data);
                string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
                data.Close();
                reader.Close();
                MessageBox.Show(s);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
        }

code2 (silverlight failed)

private void sendSMS()
        {
            WebClient client = new WebClient ();
            client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadStringCompleted);

            baseurl +="&to=972545665417";
            baseurl +="&text=This+is+an+example+message";

            Uri uri = new Uri(baseurl, UriKind.Absolute);
            client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(baseurl));
        }

        void client_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
        {

            if (e.Error == null)
            {
                string s = e.Result.ToString();
                Debugger.Log(0, "debug", "s=" + s+ "\r\n");
            }

                Debugger.Log(0, "debug", "error=" + e.Error.ToString()+ "\r\n");
