I have webservices and my setup is as follows 1. Using VS2008 i create a SilverLight 1.1 project 2. Using VS2008 i add an ASP.NET web application to the same solution 3. Add the SilverLight 1.1 application(1 above) to the ASP.NET application(2 above). You do this by right clicking on the asp.net web application project (2 above) and get the context menu -> click add silverlight link -> choose the silverlight application from 1 above and click ok. 4. Add your webservice to the ASP.NET web application (2 above). Thus the silverlight application and the web service now exist in the same project. Everytime you make a change to the silverlight project it will compile and deploy to the asp.net website (2 above) When you make a change to the webservice you should be able to immediately get the changes because it is all linked to the same solution and project. Does this make sense? This is how I build/test during development and it works a treat!

Sorry, I didn't really explain my problem very well. I'm not actually doing cross domain calls. I just want to be able to debug and then release without having to change the web reference every time. For example. I have a silverlight 1.1 app. that connects to a web service. Both are on the same domain. For testing I can't use the live web service because it's on a different domain to localhost. Therefore I have to host my web service on my local machine and reference it from there. That means that whenever I upload changes to my domain I have to first upload the web service changes and then delete the localhost web reference and add the domain web reference. Then I can upload the changes. Now I think about it more. If you where given a web service on your own domain but not given a copy of it to run on your local machine, even though the app. won't be doing cross-domain calls in production you will still not be able to debug it. In fact even connecting to a web service on the localhost from a silverlight project (no asp.net project) you can't debug as the silverlight html page is opened directly from the file system and thus there is no domain for it to run in. It just makes for a difficult development experience. So I'm just making sure that these issues will be fixed allong with the "actual" cross-domain issues in 2.0.

With that said rest in mind that for the time frame of Mix 08 u guys will get a hand full of new exiting things to be playing against that will ease much of the headaches that runs around 1.1 constrains.

Hi Jonathan, Your not the only one experiencing headaches with cross domain calls with SilverLight 1.1, it's not very developer friendly! However I believe that SilverLight 2.0 (release to be in early March for Mix 08) will have a more elegant solution to this problem. I believe the Silverlight team have re-engineered a better way of performing cross-domain calls that doesn't require the annoying workarounds we're currently forced to do. I wish I had more information regarding this... March 08 is when all will be revealed.

Hi, I'm really getting annoyed with the cross domain restriction for web services. I know exactly why it's there but it doesn't make it easy to debug when I'm using shared hosting. At the moment I have to upload the new web service code and then recompile the SL app against it before uploading. Is anyone else having trouble with this or have any suggestions.
