silverlight-4.0

As a Silverlight newbie, I am finding it really hard to set up an RIA Web service. The examples available on the web almost always refer to Entity framework as the ORM but we are using NHibernate as our ORM. I am aware of the tutorial by Brad Abrams where he uses NHibernate as the ORM but most of it goes above my head because I am also a newbie at NHibernate and some of the concepts of RIA are not clear to me e.g. DomainService. I'd like to first keep it simple and ignore the ORM at the moment. So, can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to get a "vanilla" web service going with

I am looking for a solution for following situation. In my application i had a page say page1 and i placed a user control inside the page1. My requirement is i need to get the click event of button used in user control on page1's code behind. How i can achieve the same in windows phone / silverlight. 1. The first and the right way: (If you are aware of MVVM pattern) would be for you control, say MyControl , to expose DependencyProperty of type ICommand , named e.g. MyControlButtonClickCommand. Xaml: <UserControl> <Button Command={Binding MyControlButtonClickCommand, Source={RelativeSource Self

I recently encountered a strange thing. On some of my company's servers when an exception message is printed out (yes, bad, I know. It's for debugging), the actual message isn't displayed. Instead it displays the key for an external string resource and says that "Debugging resource strings are unavailable" After some research I've come up with the following: In release mode, Silverlight does not package the xap with the dlls containing the actual error messages in order to save space. I've found workarounds for OLD versions, but nothing for 4. It seems like there are Developer versions of the

My MSBuild command line is as follows: msbuild e:\code\myProject.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug /p:OutputPath=bin/Debug /p:Platform=x86 /p:PlatformTarget=x86 The project builds fine on my development machine in VS2010 but not with the command above. I am running Win 7 64 - Bit. I'm getting an error that says I don't have the Silverlight 4 SDK installed but I do. I"ve read some posts that you have to set the Platform=x86 but to no avail. Here is the error message in full: Microsoft (R) Build Engine Version 4.0.30319.1 [Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 4.0.30319.1] Copyright (C) Microsoft

Any alternative? You need to create an ImageSource and assign that to an Image control or use an ImageBrush to set on the

Im trying to get to grips with writing testable ViewModels in Silverlight 4. Im currently using MVVM light. Im using AutoFac and the IoCContainer is doing its job fine. However to inject into the constructor of ViewModels, which are bound to Views I have this constructor chaining: public UserViewModel() : this(IoCContainer.Resolve<IUserServiceAsync>()) { } public UserViewModel(IUserServiceAsync userService) { if (this.IsInDesignMode) return; _userService = userService; } Which doesn't feel clean, but is the best option i have found so far. This works and my app works as desired, and is
