Silverlight Web Services Samples

SOAP Services

• (Basic) Spell Checker: View it | Download source. Demonstartes how to consume a WCF backend service to build an AJAX-style spell checker.
• (Basic) Weather Widget: View it | Download source. Demonstrates how to consume a public SOAP service WeatherBug
• (Advanced) Message Inspectors: View source. 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.
