Sounds like we need a test app John! Better fire up a few WebClients and see where it caps out with .IsBusy!
With Win7VPC you can of course test on every browser ever made :) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John OBrien Sent: Monday, 22 June 2009 10:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Silverlight limited to 2 simultaneous connections? Thanks Nick, another handy link but it seems that even if we change the server side settings Silverlight on the client side is restricted, example is only requesting images not using WCF. I will do a WCF example tomorrow to see if it is any different however. @Caleb - that URL should be working fine, just hit it from 40 machines around the world: http://just-dnslookup.com/index.php?vh=soulsolutions.com.au&c=&s=dns+lookup% 21 (useful site btw) I have scoured the web for information on this and found some very misleading posts claiming it is the browser restricting it. An identical AJAX version (Bing Maps, same image URLS) does not have the issue. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nick Hodge Sent: Monday, 22 June 2009 10:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Silverlight limited to 2 simultaneous connections? >From the mighty Jorke: http://blogs.msdn.com/wenlong/archive/2009/02/08/why-only-two-concurrent-req uests-for-load-testing.aspx > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jordan Knight > Sent: Monday, 22 June 2009 10:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Silverlight limited to 2 simultaneous connections? > > So go crazy and use a few Silverlight controls and the new instance to > instance comms stuff in SL3 to load a few at once :P > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John OBrien > Sent: Monday, 22 June 2009 9:45 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Silverlight limited to 2 simultaneous connections? > > I think you may be onto something Jordan.
