Question

In Visual Studio 2010, I’m building a Silverlight C# application. I’m attempting to use an IRequestHandler in order to build a custom SOAP request.

I’ve included the appropriate reference (System.Data.Services), and the appropriate namespace. (I get no error on the namespace).

using System.Data;
using System.Data.Services;               
using System.Data.Services.Client;        <---- Shouldn't need these, added 
using System.Data.Services.Common;        <----    in desperation.

namespace HurricaneMaps
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            //Let's make a manual request via SOAP - simple object access protocol
            IRequestHandler irh;
        }
    }
}

When compiling, I get a missing reference/bad namespace for IRequestHandler… I’m at my wits end! Is there something I’m missing, or is this an error with VS? I’ve tried making a new project under different versions, but no luck.

In fact, nothing from System.Data.Service (MSDN – System.Data.Services) works for me… I should include a screenshot showing that it is in my references, but you’ll have to trust me.. anyone encounter a similar issue?

Answer 1

IRequestHandler and therefore System.Data.Services is not part if Silverlight.. only System.Data.Services.Client is..

But you may achieve what you want by using sth.like: HttpWebRequest.Create(xyz)
