Silverlight 2 .xap files and Silverlight Streaming

10-20-2008 10:48 AM |

I created a Silverlight 2 application using Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1, and uploaded the Silverlight 2 .xap file to Silverlight Streaming.

(http://silverlight.live.com/).

However, when I try to use the Launch Application Test Page (To preview this application) , I receive the Install Microsoft Silverlight prompt.

Also, Method 2: Use a Live Control - Insert the following HTML where you want the application to appear in the body of the page:

The Install Microsoft Silverlight prompt is received for the above scenario as well.

My computer has the Silverlight 2 developer runtime - Microsoft Silverlight Configuration Version 2.0.31005.0

Thanks in advance for any insight! Rob - www.roberthellestrae,.com

Regarding the FireFox browser, I just confirmed that I am able to preview Silverlight applications, via Silverlight Streaming, by launching the test application link in FireFox.

Great catch!

There still seems to be some flakiness.  My application shows correctly under FF but not IE7.  The application will display for a brief second and then disappear.   FWIW, The application runs fine internally on IE7, just not when deployed to the Silveright Streaming site.  Strange that it works in FF.

I am not sure whats wrong for your app dear  pantone but for me its working fine. I just tested my SP app which calls corss-domain webservice and seems to be working fine as per expectations. You man invistigate the matter or can put a query to SLS team.

Hi Pinal,

    Thanks for you reply.  Mine calls cross domain as well, but I don't believe the issue is in that area.  I would expect that if it works in FF then it should work in IE.  As I said, running internally on our servers with IE the application runs fine.  The issue is only when deployed to the SS service.  My suspicion is that it is with the SS hosted service, but that being said, it is just a suspicion.  I will put in a query to the SLS team and see what they can find out.  These are small bumps that happen with the release of any new product which I am sure they will resolve fairly soon.  Until then, having viewed only under FireFox is an acceptable for my purposes.

I'm having the same issue as Pantone278, works fine in Firefox but not in IE.  Like robhellest I have xaml animation, drag dropping, resizing, etc.  as well as cross-domain webservices.  Silverlight is great and like Pantone278 said, I am sure this will get resolved soon.  Slightly annoying to have to use Firefox, but I'm sure that won't be for long and it will be quickly resolved.  Remember people, this is NEW technology, very cool, very awesome, but still new and bound to be some hiccups along the way.  Let's not try to be dismissive of others problems but supportive.   If it works in one browser, it should work in all!
