Re: Images invisible
It may fail for you from home too. I just tried it on my machine and it didn't work. Pinging somesite.com is actually resolving to a real looking IP address. I'm wondering if either someone is now using it for real?! it now resolves to 82.98.86.175. I started to think i had the wrong url but google showed me that somesite.com should resolve to 127.0.0.1. Ah well you can always put it in your local hosts file. Strange that it doesn't work anymore. The main thing is that fiddler needs to be tricked into monitoring local traffic by using your local loopback of 127.0.0.1. It should be an option in fiddler but isn't.

Try using the computer name instead. @Stehpen, I didn't know about the somesite.com trick. Hwoever, it doesn't work from my machine, I'll try it at home.

Re: Images invisible (SOLVED)
Yay me :) I think the setting that does that is related to the Use Local IIS Web server. I do the same, tell it to use IIS. I think if you select a Silverlight unit test project it generates a test page and launches that via the file system path by default. It's fine for a unit test but not for your app. Glad you sorted that one out. Nice before a weekend, you can relax a bit now. :) cheers, Stephen p.s. you going to Remix next week? I'll be there. If you will be there be good to catch up. (goes for anyone on the list, come say hi!)

RE: Images invisible
It's all to do with the Red Queen Hypothesis... http://www.indiana.edu/~curtweb/Research/Red_Queen%20hyp.html At the top of the hill, the Red Queen begins to run, faster and faster. Alice runs after the Red Queen, but is further perplexed to find that neither one seems to be moving. When they stop running, they are in exactly the same place. Alice remarks on this, to which the Red Queen responds: Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place :-) Kind Regards, Darren neimkedarren.nei...@live.com http://2010wave.blogspot.com From: g...@mira.net To: ozsilverlight@ozsilverlight.com Subject: RE: Images invisible Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 14:18:30 +1000 You certainly find all the issues. Remind me to give you a ping if i'm ever looking for a beta tester. :p But, I’m not even trying to find issues, they just happen, continuously, unexpectedly. I don’t want any issues. I have been writing software for 30 years in COBOL, Algol, Fortran, IBM assembler, REXX, Clist, C, C++, Java, Mathematica, C#, VB6, VB.NET on ICL, Burroughs, Honeywell, Unix and Windows 3.1 to 7 and I have never had a worst experience before the arrival of XAML, Blend, Silverlight, WPF and WCF. I’m deadly serious, all you evangelists out there, all you keen demo makers and spruikers ... · I’m stuck using two major expensive and utterly different products on two screens at once (VS and Blend) to write my UI · Blend and VS produce different designer errors and compile failures on the same project · After more than 2 years of releases I’m still getting Catastrophic Error messages · The documentation is scattered everywhere (if it exists at all) for different controls and kits · I spend half my life web searching for answers to weird behaviour or incomprehensible fatal errors · I have to jump through hoops to bypass security lockdowns · The VS designer crashes 10 times a day in XAML and I have to uninstall VS plugins as an attempted cure · It takes hours to get any new control working acceptably · I spend hours tweaking weird unexpected sizing behaviour trying to get the appearance I desire · Even the Blend designer sizes weirdly · First there were too few controls, now there are too many and too many choices and I’m getting bloated with DLLs from everywhere and only using tiny bits of each of them · Writing binding code takes 20 times longer than in Winforms as all the code is pushed into converters · It takes 20 times longer to write anything in XAML compared to WinForms. One of my WPF edit screens has dozens of different data types and collections bound to it, and after a week of writing general purpose Type converters and validators I still haven’t got all of the two-way binding working acceptably. · Now all of my images have vanished. · Getting a new dev machine to compile Silverlight projects requires a nightmare of preparations · I live in constant fear that every time I boot my dev machine or open a Silverlight project that something incomprehensible will go wrong I’m fu*king fed up with Silverlight, WPF and WCF. Maybe VS2010, Framework 4 and Silverlight 4 will improve things, but I can’t migrate until a batch of releases is finalised over the coming several weeks. Oh well, back to work.
