Hi friends,
I have a silver light application and i want to access a database using wcf services. I know doing in normal windows application but in silver light it is some what different.

I have done the normal windows method of "adding service reference to our silver light project" but while i create a object to the service the methods in that service (which i have declared in wcf service add()) is not showing in my silver light application.

I am using silver light 4 and Visual Studio 2010

Friends Please provide me a solution or just post the site address where exact procedure shows.

Thanks in Advance
Ganesh

A Silverlight application can only send requests to a webservice on the same server. So if the silverlight application is hosted on http://MyDevComputer then the webservice most be hosten on http://MyDevComputer as well.

I have no idea then, but if you post your wcf service I might, as that's the only other source of the problem I can think of.

I think there is no need with code it is same like in normal windows application but when i got adding a reference and calling the methods that are defined in the service i am unable to get them at the same time i am getting the name of my method as "ASYNC my method name".

How can i get from this/
If possible i will send you the necessary code.
