Configuring IIS 7 to work with WCF Web Services for Silverlight 2

  • Articolo

I've tried these, and there are some interesting parts that can take some time figuring out by digging in docs.

This post will probably solve the 404.3 error (svc not registered as MIME type)

So here's the whole solution for getting a WCF service started up and using it from Silverlight 2 Beta 1:

1. To build the service: How to: Build a Service for Silverlight Clients
2. To enable cross-domain for the service, if needed: How to: Make a Service Available Across Domain Boundaries

3. To add the service to IIS 7:

  • Create new IIS 7 application - Right-click on Default Web Site in the IIS Manager console, Add application, setup the folder (e.g. D:\test\SampleAppFolder) and name. Click OK
  • Deploy your service to https://localhost/SampleApp (or your app virtual name)
  • Important This step took me a while to figure out: install WCF: open admin cmd prompt, and execute ServiceModelreg -i in c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation folder.

c:\>cd c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation>

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation>ServiceModelreg -i
