This is probably a basic question.

I have two projects:

  1. A web application project, that has a webpage that hosts a Silverlight application, as well as a web service
  2. A Silverlight application project, the one hosted in the above web application

If I debug the Silverlight application, it wants to run this with a generated web page, which will of course not start my web application, and web service calls fails due to some cross-site security model. So even if I have the web application running, the Silverlight application won’t use it.

If I debug the Web application (that is, set it as a start project and hit Debug), then the Silverlight application is apparently correctly hosted, but I can’t debug it. Any breakpoints in it shows up as those hollow circles.

So what am I doing wrong? How should I configure my projects so that I can start the web application, host my Silverlight application, and debug it?

I’m betting it is one of those “dough” moments when someone tells me, but I can’t figure it out.

This is Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5 and Silverlight 3.

    You should be able to run the web app and debug the silverlight app.

    Make sure you have silverlight debugging on in your project properties (not sure which project)

    Its a flag under
