    XML in Silverlight

    Nov 13, 2007 01:48 PM | LINK

    I know LINQ is not supported in Silverlight 1.1a, and I really hope that it does in 1.1b, I am not able to use XML support in (exculsive to) VB 9 by importing XML schema and playing around with the XML.

     Second, why can't I include a web reference to a nasmx service inside my solution? I get an error when i try to refer my service saying "only silverlight projects can be referenced", I dont remember where but I have seen a demo where you can get data from a service inside your solution.  Does any one have any idea if Silverlight 1.1b wud support this?

    Hi Cass

    I used LINQ in C# with Silverlight 1.1 alpha. I didn't go against XML, just other objects. Steve did a bunch of that in the project back in July as well so it has been there for a while, at least when using C#.

    As to your second question: Yes, you need to add a web reference to a web service that is marked as a [ScriptService]. That attribute makes it return everything in JSON format instead of SOAP. Take a look at the quickstarts under "Learn" above for examples of how to do that. The service basically needs to be an AJAX service (JSON). Microsoft has said that they will support SOAP in a future release of 1.1 (alpha/beta/rtm)

    The official Silverlight shows that LINQ will be supported in Silverlight. Regarding web service, please check this excellent post by Peter Kellner about integrating web services with Silverlight
