What's your startup project? The Web project or the Silverlight one?
Maybe your Silverlight project is set as the startup project, hence the
issue.

Well it’s happened again.

I spent two hours this morning refactoring a demo SL4 project to prepare
for expansion. I split a few classes, tidied things up, etc. I hit F5 to
run and it says I have a cross domain call failure. I spent the next two
hours trying to fix this problem. I removed and added the service ref again
about 40 times in different ways, I searched the web and all of the advice
is worse than useless. I even had bizarre errors adding the ref back again
like “*Custom tool warning: Unable to load one or more of the requested
types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information*”
which I’ve never had before and advice in this matter is useless. The
referenced service didn’t even change, it’s not in the solution. I didn’t
add any new service types. I have now spent 4 hours trying to get a
previously working demo project going again without hope. I could restore
everything and incrementally reapply my morning’s changes, but that would
take another 2 hours.

I created a fresh SL4 project and web app out of the wizard, added the
save service ref and it works. So something “has gone wrong” with my demo
project and nothing seems to resurrect it. My only hope therefore is to
slowly paste the contents of the old app into the fresh one and pray that
it keeps working. I estimate that this will take 6 hours.

I’ve been writing software for 35 years and I haven’t seen such f***ing
mind-blowing instability and idiocy and insanity before and it just seems
to get worse and worse with every passing year and every new kit and tool
and framework that comes out. Are we going through a historical period in
IT history where everything is actually “dis-integrating”? Is it an
internal joke by Microsoft to cull the weak and breed a new generation of
drone developers who just accept that everything doesn’t work? I spend more
time searching the web for answers to insane problems that and I do
actually coding, and most of the time I get no answers or increasing
numbers of stupid answers cluttering the web.

More and more often I get problems where quite simply “I have no frigging
idea what to do”. There are no meaningful clues and no obvious course of
action. The only thing to do is delete stuff, jiggle options, add stuff
back, restart IIS, reboot, restore backups, compare old and new files, etc.
There is usually no diagnostic path to follow, you just bumble around until
you get a different (less worse) error that might give you a clue.

Is this the future of software development?
