Another quick entry. I’m hosting WCF service in IIS 7.5 (Windows 7 x32) and getting the following error:
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.
Found solution in this thread: it looks like the script maps for the .svc extension are not registered. To register the script maps run the following command:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg.exe -i
Silverlight is feature incomplete, but I can live with what’s available. Some features are incompatible with WPF counterparts, but I can workaround incompatibilities. What I really hate about Silverlight is the way it reports runtime errors.
Example. Debugging custom templated control I got the following message:
Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 2012
Category: ParserError
Message: Unknown attribute Text on element TextBlock.
File:
Line: 2
Position: 41
The message is confusing to say the least (unless I miss something, Text attribute is perfectly valid on a TextBlock element). And I had to use trial and error method just to find out silly mistake: there was a TemplateBinding to CLR-property in a control template. I should have declared that property as DependencyProperty. What a waste of time :(
