Creating Silverlight Client Application with WCF

Creating Silverlight client application.

Task 1: In the same solution add Silverlight client application, name it as

‘SILV3_WCF_REST_Client'. (Note: Create separate website for the Silverlight application else the WCF and ASP.NET website will be created in the same project.).

Task 2: In the Silverlight project add the ‘Employee' class. This is used to consume the REST –POX response from the WCF service.

public class Employee

{

public int EmpNo { get; set; }
public string EmpName { get; set; }
public string DeptName { get; set; }
public int Salary { get; set; }

}

Task 3: Open MainPage.xaml and write the following Xaml:

(Note: <data:DataGrid> tag for DataGrid may be different in your case, so instead of copying the above xaml better Drag-Drop the controls.).

Task 4: Open MainPage.Xaml.cs and write the following code on ‘Get Data' button click:

private void btnGetData_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

WebClient wc = new WebClient(); try

{

wc.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(wc_DownloadStringCompleted);

wc.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://localhost:8001/WCF_REST_HP_VD/Service.svc/Employee"));
