I looked through both of your articles, looking for the answer to my problem, but I guess I couldn't see the forest for the trees. In the first place, both of your articles use old versions of IIS and VS that I am not running, so the old fashioned look of your screenshots sort of put me off. (Your articles really need updating.) In the second place, your second article was clearly addressing itself to Web Site projects, not Web Application projects and I thought I made it clear that I was only interested in Web Application projects. In the meantime I started looking through the configuration of the first ASP.NET project that I built for reading along in the Wrox book, Professional ASP.NET 4 in C#. Somehow I had managed to accomplish precisely what I was asking about in my original post in this thread, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what I did! It didn't help to review the early chapters of the above book, because that book is basically a reference that assumes you already know such basic material backwards and forwards and doesn't go into it. That's why I subsequently got the Wrox book, Beginning ASP.NET 4 in C# which fills in all the blanks for ASP.NET beginners, but which unfortunately explicitly states it won't help the reader get up to speed on Web Application projects. Well, all this mucking around did enable me to figure out how to accomplish what I originally asked: how to use the local IIS to host a Web Application project. I document that in my original post. So thanks anyhow, for prompting me to keep digging away for the answer, which I had in my back pocket all along without realizing it.

Well, it doesn't look as if anyone is interested in answering this question, or, incredibly, that no one monitoring this forum even knows what the answer is. Actually, it seems as if this is about as basic a Website question as a person could possibly ask, so maybe this is just the wrong forum: its answer may be so obvious to any Website developer worth his salt that he would have contempt for anyone who would even ask such a question. On the other hand, I've noticed very light activity on this Silverlight forum, indicating that there just aren't that many people out there yet doing serious work on this technology. So the only thing I can personally recommend to solve this problem is a workaround.

KunalChowdhury wrote: What do you mean by itemized list in a RichTextBox? I don't understand your question. Surely you aren't asking me what an itemized list is, are you? It doesn't matter anyhow. There is no way to do it. I just expected it to be there since the new RichTextBox in Silverlight 4 takes a list of something called Paragraph elements and I just naturally assumed these were the same Paragraph elements that were in WPF, which do take itemized lists. But they only vaguely resemble the WPF Paragraph. They don't even have a Margin property which might be a starting point for rolling your own itemized lists. So forget it. I learned from a recent Code Camp I went to that Microsoft has given up the idea of ever supporting flow documents in Silverlight. Instead in a future release of Silverlight they will provide a way of supporting an HTML area within Silverlight content. (They've always supported the opposite: Silverlight content within HTML.) Once that happens, we'll be able to include itemized lists within Silverlight and the user won't even know or care that it's actually HTML that is generating the itemized list. I guess Microsoft figured it was easier to rely on existing technology rather than reinventing the wheel. Trouble is, they should have done this ages ago. Meanwhile, we have to wait and wait, and in the meantime put up with poorly formatted running text in Silverlight applications. The syntax for itemized lists in WPF is incredibly verbose anyhow. It will be a blessing to be able to use the concise syntax of HTML for generating itemized lists, and flow documents in general. The only thing is, it will never have the convenience of automatically flowing into multiple columns like WPF, although I am by no means an HTML programmer, so maybe that will be possible, also.

Thanks for posting a solution here - even though it's a workaround. My signature "sucks" today modified on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 2:17 AM

It says Service instead of Assembly because the @ directive just points to the service class, not a different assembly from the rest of the project. I just tried removing the CodeBehind attribute and the Silverlight application still correctly accessed the service. So you're absolutely correct. It plays no part in finding the service.

Sometimes it might possible that toolkit is not installed on your system. You can install it from http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/43528[^] Regards Rushi

For the record, I took a look at your first two links and they are for instructions if you're running VS2005, and one of them was for running a beta version of it! The menu system completely changed with VS2008, so maybe your third reference will be easier to follow. But even the first two links describe a brute force way of converting, basically starting over from scratch. Well, I looked at the VS2008 link and it also is a brute force method. There apparently is no auto-conversion software to do this. I'm going to start over from scratch and completely rebuild my application from the ground up.

I figured out your problem, dude. You needed a clientaccesspolicy.xml file in the root of your Website. That fixed the problem.

I don't know why it isn't apparent that my problem was SOLVED long ago on this thread. Can't people read my titles? I don't understand why additional replies keep coming and coming. I wish everyone would just get over it.

I went back to my original source (with an enormous back history of source control check-ins that it will be nice to keep) under VS2010, .NET 3.5, Release build, and it works! Whew!

Thanks, Alan. The reason my first attempt didn't work was because I had the Build Action of my resource files set to Resource and not Embedded Resource (an oversight on my part). When I made that change, The following code worked for me: // Generate the list of installation files. InstallationFiles = new List<string>(); Assembly a = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly(); foreach (String s in a.GetManifestResourceNames()) { if (s.StartsWith("PHDInstallation.Resources.")) { string fileName = s.Replace("PHDInstallation.Resources.", ""); InstallationFiles.Add(fileName); } }

Cool, and thanks! I found editing after the post to be much more friendly, and I was able to bold the expressions I'd missed through my second edit. Fortunately I had rights to edit it because I'd made so many posts up here previously (all questions!).

Sounds good.

Yes, that works. Thanks. Still don't understand why my original code doesn't, however.

I think, as originally stated, you should move this to the lounge. It would be a better place to have such a discussion since, once again, the forums are for questions and don't seem to have any, only opinions and a need to discuss your difficulty in keeping up with the body of knowledge in this career field. fjparisIII wrote: I've been a professional programmer undoubtedly for more years than you've been alive I wouldn't be so arrogant and make such assumptions.

Exactly. Just after I posted my reply, I woke up and banged the side of my head with the palm of my hand. I work too many hours in the day and my brain stops working after about 12 hours of headscratching at my desk. My original post was written after 16 hours at the keyboard. Then when I woke up this morning I was still thinking I didn't have a clue. But my brain started waking up at the very end to my reply to your first answer. Then I sat down and wrote the following code (amazingly similar to yours): ImageBeingDisplayed.Source = BitmapImage; DoubleAnimation fadeInAnimation = new DoubleAnimation(); fadeInAnimation.From = 0; fadeInAnimation.To = 1; fadeInAnimation.Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(.5); fadeInAnimation.Completed += new EventHandler(fadeInAnimation_Completed); Storyboard storyboard = new Storyboard(); Storyboard.SetTarget(fadeInAnimation, ImageBeingDisplayed); Storyboard.SetTargetProperty(fadeInAnimation, new PropertyPath("Image.Opacity")); storyboard.Children.Add(fadeInAnimation); storyboard.Begin(); Then I wrote the fadeInAnimation_Completed event as follows: void fadeInAnimation_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e) { Storyboard storyboard = (Storyboard)sender; storyboard.Stop(); string imageName = Storyboard.GetTargetName(storyboard); Image image = FindName(imageName) as Image; if (image != null) { image.Opacity = 1; } } I don't know whether all this will work because the first block of code is in a WebClient.DownloadDataCompleted event handler, which inexplicably does not exist in Silverlight (I'm trying to port my WPF application to Silverlight), so my Silverlight code does not compile. I asked how to solve that problem in a post immediately preceding the post that started this thread.

Thanks This did the magic for me
