Silverlight applications run on the client so it doesn't matter
what server you use, as long as the server can serve up .XAP files
and any other resources the Silverlight app may need.

There are many articles here on CodeProject that explain how to use all the features of WPF, from basic to advanced.

Why would you 1 vote someone for stating the obvious ? It's not his fault that you're stupid.

I didn't vote it 1, you can open your eyes and see my vote right now.
I think you are more stupid than me , because you judge about something that you don't know anything about it.

Skinnable silverlight applications

Also, to get you started, there is sample templates
for Menu and MenuItem in the documentation:

Hey guys,

I'm developing a kind of website content management system. Users can drop 'blocks' of content on a page and some blocks are silverlight applications (for example picturebooks). I want users to be able to 'skin' the silverlight application like a css stylesheet would do that for a webpage. I was thinking of defining properties for objects used in the silverlight application (for example a button and an image) and let the user decide the values of the properties.

Is there a built in feature in Silverlight which allows me to create such functionality or do I have to write code for each and every property in silverlight which means a lot (A LOT) of coding...

Thanks!

You could merged dictionaries to provide alternate "skins" for controls.
Allowing the user to change them will require some coding definitely, because
you'll need to build dictionaries at runtime and probably need a way to save
the user's preferences.

The ImplicitStyleManager can help for applying styles to controls at
runtime so you don't have to do that part manually.

The implicit style manager is probably the one I was looking for.

request error

I see the following error while connecting to a wcf service through my silverlight application.

An error occurred while trying to make a request to URI 'http://localhost:3046/Service1.svc'. This could be due to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-domain policy in place, or a policy that is unsuitable for SOAP services. You may need to contact the owner of the service to publish a cross-domain policy file and to ensure it allows SOAP-related HTTP headers to be sent. This error may also be caused by using internal types in the web service proxy without using the InternalsVisibleToAttribute attribute. Please see the inner exception for more details.

How are you hosting the WCF app? How are you hosting the
Silverlight app?

If the Silverlight app isn't hosted at http://localhost:3046
then you'l have a cross domain issue. That means you'll
need to provide a clientaccesspolicy.xml file at the root of
the domain the WCF service is hosted at.

Making a Service Available Across Domain Boundaries[^]

If you're hosting the WCF service in WcfSvchost.exe or self hosting,
you may need to serve up the clientaccesspolicy.xml yourself:

Enabling cross-domain calls for Silverlight apps on self-hosted web services[^]

Or you can host your WCF service in IIS[^] and just put the
clientaccesspolicy.xml at the root of the host domain.

The project/solution has no relevance here.

I mean the web hosts...WcfSvcHost...IIS....Self Hosting?

Then you'll definitely want to study the information
at the links I provided to understand the cross-domain
issue and how to deal with it.

Create a new row at the bottom of DataGrid (When User Click on Button(Out side of DataGrid))

13-Nov-09 9:23

The WcfSvcHost is for testing/debugging.

You'll probably want to consider how it will work
when the service is actually deployed. I find hosting
on IIS the easiest and most flexible.

Hi All,

I have to take the inputs as multiple entries in WPF data grid like this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Select Option | Name | Age |Country | Action | Action |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| option button | textbox | textbox | combobox | linkbutton edit/update row | linkbutton edit row |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADD Button
-----------------------------------------------
--> By clicking the ADD button i have to create a new row with new controls as in 2nd row.
--> By clicking the DELETE button in the 5th cell the corresponding row should be deleted.
--> By clicking the EDIT button in the 4th cell the corresponding row should be UPDATED(if user want)

Can I achieve this by taking WPF Data grid (WPF tool Kit Latest Build ), and how?

Or is there any other ways to achieve this?

Suggest me some URLs, Samples..etc

Many Many Thanks in Advance.
