UPDATED RELEASE: SL 3 Beta (MIX 09) Samples

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:48:15 GMT

The following Silverlight Web Services samples are availabe with the SL 2 RTW release:

!! SOAP Services
* *(Basic)* Spell Checker: [url:View it|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/spellchecker/run/default.html] | [url:Download source|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/spellchecker/source/source.zip]. Demonstartes how to consume a WCF backend service to build an AJAX-style spell checker.
* *(Basic)* Weather Widget: [url:View it|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/weatherwidget/run/default.html] | [url:Download source|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/weatherwidget/source/source.zip]. Demonstrates how to consume a public SOAP service [url:WeatherBug|http://weather.weatherbug.com/desktop-weather/api.html]
* *(Advanced)* Message Inspectors: [url:View source|http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?ProjectName=silverlightws&DownloadId=3473]. This is quite a beast of a sample. At its core is an implementation of IClientMessageInspector for Silverlight, which allows us to get at any raw incoming or outgoing message. That is already possible using untyped messages in your operations, but IClientMessageInspector lets you do that in one central location, instead of in every operation. The sample contains two example use cases: one implements SOAP faults in Silverlight, and the other implements custom SOAP headers in Silverlight.

* *(Basic)* Feed Reader: [url:View it|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/syndicationfeedreader/run/default.html] | [url:Download source|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/syndicationfeedreader/source/source.zip]. Demonstrates how to build a syndication feed reader using the SyndicationFeed class and databinding.
* *(Basic)* Mashup Sample: [url:View it|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/webservicesinterop/run/default.html] [url:Download source|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/webservicesinterop/source/source.zip].

The sample demonstrates working with Flickr (using JSON), YouTube (using RSS), Yahoo (using a REST XML service), and Live Search (using SOAP).
* *(Advanced)* POX Proxy: coming soon

NEW POST: Duplex Service as a PerSession service?

aevisner — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:00:41 GMT

I believe I solved this. In DuplexServiceFactory.CreateServiceHost() method, I changed the first statement to

ServiceHost service = new ServiceHost(typeof(T),baseAddresses);

and also changed the InstanceContextMode of the ServiceBehavior attribute of the DuplexService to InstanceContextMode.PerSession.

Everything seems to function properly...my service returns the expected data to the Silverlight client.

NEW POST: Duplex Service as a PerSession service?

aevisner — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:09:15 GMT

I am developing a Silverlight duplex application based on the duplex sample. However, I need the service to run with PerSession instancing, not the singleton instance as the sample is programmed. I tried just changing the InstanceContextMode property of the ServiceBehavior attribute on the DuplexService to InstanceContextMode.PerSession, but this resulted in an exception being thrown in the CompleteSend() method of the DuplexReceiver. So obviously, more code changes are required to implement this service for PerSession instancing.

Do you know what changes are required to support this? I am still fairly new to WCF programming, so any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Sunburned_Goose — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:37:15 GMT

I wanted to find out if there was any efforts right now to implement one of the suggestions in the link below to give developers the ability to consume faults in a Silverlight application.

Silverlight comes with fist-class support for web services and syndication. This page lists the developer resources available at this time to support developers who wish to access web services from their Silverlight apps.

Note: The resources on this page target Silverlight 2. They will not work on prior Silverlight releases.
