How to get Data from web-server to Silverlight-App
-
First: I am an absolute beginner :-) and I want to learn basics. I have created a Silverlight-App and embedded it in a asp.net MVC page on a WebServer (it works fine). Now I want to do my first steps: Loading an Xml-File from the WebServer into my SilverlightApp, which running in the Browser of a ClientComputer Question: How can I send some "basic kind of request" from the SilverlightApp to the Server to send the xml-file? I surfed a lot in the internet, but I am confused about all of these very complex data-access-possibilities.

You do realise that Silverlight has a sunset date of 2020 and won't be supported in the newer browsers! Do some research into WCF although you should be getting your data from the MVC component. Weird setup, I've never heard of this structure being used!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH
