How to access wms service from Geoserver using ArcGIS API for Silverlight

PRamachandran

Having Geoserver installed locally in my machine, I'm currently doing a R&D by trying to access WMS service from Geoserver using ArcGIS API for Silverlight.
I'm trying to replicate the sample in ESRI site which deals with accessing wms service using ArcGIS API for Silverlight. I'm unable to view the map on the browser, I only can view the Esri logo on the lower right side of the page.

Given below is the xaml code used in my application:

   

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApp.Beginners.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"     
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"     
  xmlns:esri="http://schemas.esri.com/arcgis/client/2009">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <esri:Map WrapAround="True">
            <esri:WmsLayer ID="OtherWMSLayer" Layers="OSOpenData" Url="http://localhost:9595/geoserver/wms" Opacity="0.7" SupportedSpatialReferenceIDs="27700" SkipGetCapabilities="True" Version="1.1" />
        </esri:Map>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

I don't know what I've missed in the above xaml code.
Please can anyone help me on this regards.

regards,
Ram
