REST Service in Silverlight

10-28-2009 5:21 AM |

Hi,

 I wrote a Rest Service in WCF. My method look like this

[OperationContract]
   [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "/Insert", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
        
        string InsertNumbers(NumberService num);

 I hosted my service in IIS and when i try to run it using my ip addr, It asks for username and Password. But when i gave it is not accepting.

Also i am unable to  call this service from Silverlight. I used like this in Xaml.cs file. 

         WebClient cnt = new WebClient();
            Uri uri = new Uri(baseuri);
            cnt.DownloadStringAsync(uri);
            cnt.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(cnt_DownloadStringCompleted);

Can anyone help me in this issue?

Hi,

gareesilver:

It asks for username and Password.

Seems like request to your IIS over network need  authentication. Can you show a format of data which you enters for that box?

Does your application and serivce host in one domain? If not, so there are cross domain request, look http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645032(VS.95,classic).aspx.

Hi,

   My opinion is , there is something wrong when you call the wcf service.  May i see the download uri string there.

  Here is my example, I tested it.

   My Service Contract :

    public interface IRestService
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/GetData?id={s}", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
        RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]
        string GetData(string s);
    }

   My Calling:

     WebClient webClient = new WebClient();           
     WebClient.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(webClient_DownloadStringCompleted);
     webClient.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://localhost:29595/MyRestService.svc/GetData?id=3333"));

 Best Regards
