Anyways thanks, i got solution to my prob.

Hi, Can any 1 guide me through how to host an silverlight appl on local IIS ver 5.1. I tried hosting it, the problem is that the web services dosnt work, i dont know if i have hosted the appl properly or not, i have followed same steps as per a ASP.Net appl hosting. Thanks in advance

Thanks Pete O'Hanlon, i will try this out.:)

Thanks a lot, if possible can u plz give me an example on how to achieve it.

I dont want to take the whole class, i want to take smaller set i.e only the required amount data from the database, is it that der is no option to take only required amount of data(Column selection option) here.

First of all i would like to thank u guys for the support u have been providing. Now as i mentioned in my last reply i am using deferred execution i.e :Return matchingLogin.ToList()...this will work fine for the query Dim matchingLogin = From Login In db.tbl_Users Where Login.UserName.StartsWith(strLogin) _ Select Login Return matchingLogin.ToList() But when i use column names in select like this one Dim matchingLogin = From Login In db.tbl_Users Where Login.UserName.StartsWith(strLogin) _ Select Login.UserName, Login.Password Return matchingLogin.ToList() it gives me a error in blue underline for matchingLogin.ToList() and when i move the mouse on top it, it says Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of )' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of E_Learning.Web.tbl_User)'. So to remove this error i have removed .Tolist() from Return

I already tried casting before returning the object, it works fine until i dont mention any column names in select, if i do mention any column names as in this case den i get the following error when i try to cast. Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of )' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of E_Learning.Web.tbl_User)'.

Ya you are right am writing this code in web.service, "strlogin" contains the keyword depending on which i have to retrieve data from database. What am trying to do here is retrieve username and password from table tbl_user. Am getting the following error Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.Linq.DataQuery`1[VB$AnonymousType_0`2[System.String,System.String]]' to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[E_Learning.Web.tbl_User]'. Is there any other way to retrieve data from database without using webservice, am very new 2 silverlight and dont know much about it, any support will be of great help.

Hi, Am very new to silverlight, and am working on this module where i want to retrieve some data from database, the problem is when i mention column names it dosnt work properly and it gives an error at the return statement....the code is below... Public Function GetLoginName(ByVal strLogin As String) As List(Of tbl_User) Implements IService1.GetLoginName Dim db As New DataClasses1DataContext Dim matchingLogin = From Login In db.tbl_Users Where Login.UserName.StartsWith(strLogin) _ Select Login.UserName, Login.Password Return matchingLogin End Function Can any1 tell me how to achieve it .. Thanks in advance

Since you have defined the control inside grid u have to create the checked event, ex- <asp:GridView ID="grdSearch" runat="server" Width="100%">                                           <Columns>                                                 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FirstName">                                                       <ItemTemplate>                                                             <asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnFName" runat="server" Text='<%# eval("fname") %>' />                                                       </ItemTemplate>                                                 </asp:TemplateField>                                           </Columns>                                     </asp:GridView> Code behind- Protected Sub grdSearch_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles grdSearch.RowCreated                      Dim LinkButton1 As LinkButton             Select Case e.Row.RowType                   Case DataControlRow

Hi, Can any 1 tell me how to create Excel document in compact framework, i tried using Interop.excel dll but it gives exception....Thanks in advance

You can achieve it after you host both the application, and then you can hardcore the url of the testb.aspx in testa.aspx page.

Declare a session variable, when you want to enable or disable the components of master page set the value of the session variable in child page and in page load of master page check for that session variable value and accordingly u can enable r disable the component.
