the problem was solved finally by a change in clientaccesspolicy.xml

this line was added

If the remote Server is accessible, what you have to do differently is to type the remote server Service address rather than the local one.

In another way, if the remote Server Service is a kind of search engine like the seeqpod.com. You can create a local Service to help you to handle the communication between the remote service which only return XMLString. The local Service then pass it back to Silverlight to show on the screen in different way.

Thank you. That answers most of my question. I got everything working in a test. But I now want to do this...

I have an installed web service on my a remote server: address: /silverlight/webservice/MyWebService.asmx
I have my Silverlight web site on the same server, same base directory: address: /silverlight/TestService (TestRemoteWebServiceTestPage.html)
My embedded silverlight project is configured to so that the service reference address is: http://www.mydummyaddress.com/silverlight/webservice/streamashwebservice.asmx
When installed on the web server everything runs fine
HOWEVER, I also want to be able to use that remote service from within my VS2008 solution, but I get an error when I do (the async callback fails)

I'm guessing this has to do with the web.config file... in the VS2008 website directory. It looks like this:

Is it a problem with this setting?? allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"

So, again, my Question.
How can I consume my remote server based web service from within my Silverlight website running in VS2008?

My installed web service (#1 above) has a web.config that reads. Should it be changed?

---------------- the web.config installed with the web service on the remote server -------------

?xml version="1.0"?><configuration>

<system.web><!--

Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging

Well, I personally think it is a good practice to publish the WebService first if it is not on the Remote Server

RightClicking on the Service Project
and click publish then just type the address and that should work

Here, after you have published your Service, you should edit the Service Reference in your ASP.net WebSite. Edit the Service and type in the address of the published Service. Check if the clientaccesspolicy.xml is accessible in the root of the Service.

Then, it is the part of publishing the WebSite, since you have edited the Service Reference there, check if the ServiceReferences.ClientConfig has included the correct endpoint address or not. If yes, you can do the things similar to what you did with the Service

Right Clicking on the ASP.NET WebSite Project
choose Publish WebSite
type the address and done

HowTo publish Silverlight website (with web service) from VisStudio to remote server?

This will no doubt be a dumb question... but, could anyone give me a 1, 2, 3... of how to install my Silverlight website (with web services) to a remote server?

Here's what I have built so far.

1) within Visual Studio I built a Silverlight application + website Solution (from the preset)

2) added a web service "myservice.asmx.cs" to the App_Code directory of the website

3) everything works solidly running from within VisStudio using the VS 'development server

NOW... how can I (as easily as possible) install what I have working within Visual Studio to a remote webserver? This part is all new to me and I'm afraid I can be a little dense so a "for dummies" approach would be appreciated
