Have had troubles with WCF in Silverlight for two weeks Help!!!
-
Hi I may have trouble to explain my problem but I will try. I have made a Silverlight Application, in which I added a WCF Service. I added the servicereference to the project. When I run it in VS it works great and when I publish it in IIS it works great. But when I'm trying to deploy or what it's called on the webserver, it gives me the error 405 . I can see in the web development helper that it doesn't download, or what that is called, the clientaccesspolicy.xml. The clientaccesspolicy.xml and crossdomain.xml file are placed in the root. This is my web.config
<system.serviceModel> <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="AcceditWeb.Web.ServiceBehavior"> <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" /> <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" /> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> <services> <service behaviorConfiguration="AcceditWeb.Web.ServiceBehavior" name="AcceditWeb.Web.Service"> <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="AcceditWeb.Web.IService"> </endpoint> <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> </service> </services> </system.serviceModel> </configuration>This is my ServiceReference.config which is placed in AcceditWeb.xap in the directory ClientBin

You are publishing to an IIS server, correct? Is the server you are publishing to configured for Silverlight[^]? Is the endpoint address in your ServiceReferences.ClientConfig correct? Can you connect to the service with the WCF Test Client[^] ?

Hi thanks for your answer. Yes I think they are using IIS 5, as web development helper says. I don't know if the server we are hosting to are configured for Silverlight. I think the endpointadress is right. It has the adress where the service.svc is placed. http://website.teliaweb.se/service.svc No I can not connect to the service with WcfTestClient.exe. I get this error messages. Failed to add a service. Service metadata may not be accessible. Make sure your service is running and exposing metadata. and Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from http://website.teliaweb.se/service.svc If this is a Windows (R) Communication Foundation service to which you have access, please check that you have enabled metadata publishing at the specified address. For help enabling metadata publishing, please refer to the MSDN documentation at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65455.WS-Metadata Exchange Error URI: http://website.teliaweb.se/service.svc Metadata has a reference which can't be read. http://website.teliaweb.se/service.svc.

It looks like IIS isn't configured right to host the WCF service. Are you able to get the Silverlight app or is an error returned there too?

It sounds like Mark's got the right idea; here's a link with tools and tips to help get IIS configured correctly: http://blogs.msdn.com/wenlong/archive/2006/09/10/748294.aspx[^]

Thanks. It wasn't clear (to me) when you were getting the error.

I don't see anything indicating a cross-domain issue so I believe that's irrelevant at the moment. I don't think your WCF service is starting. I've never used IIS 5 for WCF (or ASP.NET) so I'm no help with configuration. Maybe Adam's link will help. The error indicates a problem at the time the .SVC file is used, and since your WCF service runs fine on your local IIS server, I don't think there's a problem there. That's why I think there's an IIS configuration issue on the target machine.
