Can you access the XML file via IE?

I'm able to add a local version of the file to my project. But I really need it external so the config can be updated by a system manager without rebuilding. Got http to run but says it can't set credentials to access my site. I used Webclient.Credentials = new NetWorkCredentials(user, passwd) but got an exception that the property is not allowed.

Yes, like www.mysite.com/MyFile.xml

Are you able to include the XML file in your SL project?

I loaded the file up to my ftp site and still couldn't get a response on the async read. Does it have to be http?

Did you include the XML in your project? Make it relative path. You can't open files on the client that arne't included in the project.

Or Try a absolute path by putting the file on a server and accessing it via http://...

There is a event that is called when the call is complete. Wait until the event is fired before proceedding.

Example (check out the LoginCompleted event):

ServiceReferenceMyApp.ServiceWebClient client = new ServiceReferenceMyAPp.ServiceWebClient();

client.LoginAsync(UserEmail.Text, UserPassword.Password);

client.LoginCompleted += new EventHandler<ServiceReferenceMyApp.LoginCompletedEventArgs>(client_LoginCompleted);

void client_LoginCompleted(object sender, ServiceReferenceFlair.LoginCompletedEventArgs e)

{

...

}

Hi Mike, thanks for the tip. Definitely helped out this newbie Silverlight developer. I'm struggling to grasp why it's async only though. If I have something dependent on the data coming back, how can I get my data out of the completed function? It's hard to work around when the completed function does not have a return type and you can't pass in additional arguments.

I'm hoping I'm just missing something.

thanks.

re: Silverlight Tip of the Day #16 - StoryBoard versus DispatcherTimer for Animation and Game Loops.

A storyboard is running in a seperate thread?? is that really true?

according to what i 've learn, there should be one ui thread, and if storyboard can access the ui elements directly, it should be located in the same ui thread.

correct me if i'm wrong.
