    Thus you should put your cross domain policy file under the root of your web service project.

     I cannot download your *.rar file due to my company policy.  If your service is located at http://localhost:8082/WebSite1/Modules.svc, than the SVL page should be located there as well, e.g. http://localhost:8082/WebSite1/TestPage.html if you don't put the cross domain config under WebSite1/

    Well, looks like the ASP.NET test server maps the root folder to http://localhost:8082/WebSite1. Thus the policy file is placed under http://localhost:8082/WebSite1. This will not work. Sorry I can't figure out how to make ASP.NET test server to map the root folder to http://localhost:8082. Can you use IIS instead? After I deployed your service to my IIS, and add the policy file to wwwroot folder, I've successfully called the service. Also note you must run your Silverlight application from http protocol. When creating a new Silverlight project, make sure to choose add a new web site. If you choose to just create a dynamic test page, your application will run from the file system.

    I am having the same problem, and tried to follow this thread to solve it. Not successful. My service is located at: C:\Dev\SilverlightApplication1\WcfService1\service1.svc with URL as http://localhost/WcfService1/service1.svc. My IIS default web site is: http://localhost/, and it's mapped to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot. I created a policy file at: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot. And it can be accessed by http://localhost/crossdomain.xml as instructed by the Microsoft document. My SL client is running by WebDev.WebServer with a dynamic port, which is not my choice. It's created like that even when I selected web site option. Things just don't work. I get CrossDomainError every time.

    I also have been following this thread and still cannot call my web service from my SL2 Beta 1 app. I have a WCF service on a live server.

    I've changed the binding in web.config to basicHttpBinding and went into IIS and created a new "Application" on the server for the folder my service resides in. I also added crossdomain.xml and clientaccesspolicy.xml to both the root of my site and the webservice's folder. And in case you're wondering, the .svc URL loads fine in a browser (no errors).

    In my SL2 project I've added a service reference via the live url. It appeared to add fine.

    In my code I call:

    Dim WithEvents ServerObject As New Server_Samples.ServicesClient(New System.ServiceModel.BasicHttpBinding, New System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(New Uri("http://mylivesite.com/Service1/Services.svc")))

    ServerObject.MyFunctionAsync(Param1, Param2) ' this bombs out inside my proxy class's BeginMyFunction method

    An exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException' occurred in System.ServiceModel.dll but was not handled in user code

    Additional information: [CrossDomainError]
    Arguments:
    Debugging resource strings are unavailable. Often the key and arguments provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=106663&Version=2.0.30226.2&File=System.ServiceModel.dll&Key=CrossDomainError

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've been trying everything I can think of for the majority of the day and still can't get it to work.

    fyi: I also tried to hit this exact same service from a WinForms app and it worked fine.

     I am having the exact same error.  This seems to be a widespread thing?

    The webservice was not properly setup on the Silverlight app.

    I could not find an easy way to fix than to open the Web Service References folder and scan and change every file for the webservice's url.

     

    I didn't work when:

    trying to remove the service and readd it using the public ip address.(previously using the local machine name)
