Silverlight Web Services Samples

UPDATED RELEASE: SL 2 RTW Samples (Oct 14, 2008)

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:42:17 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.

!! Duplex Services
* *(Advanced)* Duplex Chat: [url:View source|http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?ProjectName=silverlightws&DownloadId=3472]. This sample implements the DuplexReceiver class, which provides a clean duplex object model and supports deserialization of incoming messages.

!! HTTP Services with POX/JSON/Syndication
* *(Basic)* Food Finder: [url:View it|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/foodfinder/run/default.html] | [url:Download source|http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/foodfinder/source/source.zip]. Demonstrates how to use LINQ over JSON to work with JSON from inside managed code.
* *(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]. Demonstrates how to create mashup applications using various types of Web APIs. 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

I am running Windows Server 2008 32bit. While I am trying to register "System.Web.Silverlight.dll" into GAC, I am getting "Access Denied". What could be reason for this? Appreciate your help in this regard.

Same goes here. Running Windows Server 2008 64bit. Also resolved by setting Copy Local = True. Agree that since it is in the GAC we should not need to do this.

There is some internal discussion going on this. That dll is part of the SDK install and is available on the bin directory of that web application. However, we seem to have info that people who have 64 bit machines are seeing this error when they used the 64 bit SDK installer. Can you confirm whether or not you are running 64 bit?

I am running Windows Server 2008 64bit and I experienced this issue, I resolved by setting Copy Local = True. However this DLL is deployed to the GAC so should I really need to do this?
