Just got back from TechEd, and I’m playing around with OData. I’m using StackOverflow’s OData service as my test case.

And I think I’m stopped dead. I get a security exception, and I believe that the issue is that there is no clientaccesspolicy.xml file on StackOverflow to enable OData for Silverlight.

Am I just completely stuck? Does StackOverflow not open up a client access policy?

Even more important:

If you want to do data mashups, is Silverlight just not invited to the party? How would a person consume any given site’s OData feed with Silverlight if there was no client access policy?

    You can check with Fiddler the problem. Seems like StackOverflow doesn’t open up a client access policy.

    How would a person consume any given
    site’s OData feed with Silverlight if
    there was no client access policy?

    Requests should be done via person’s server.
