Adding WMS layers

Question

I have been playing around with WMS layers in a WPF application but am having some difficulty getting any WMS layers to display when using a service not given in the WMS_WPF sample (for v1.2 of the API). Using either this sample solution or the Toolkit.Datasources assembly in v2.0 I get the same problem. What am I missing? I have the following piece of xaml nested in the Map.Layers section of the WMS_WPF sample solution equivalently, in v2.0 of the API.

Fiddler was the key! I can see that the WMS Server returns an exception as the width / height and the extent specified were inadmissible for the layer.

Using the WMS sample, I can manipulate the values in the query string to use the correct values.
The incorrect extent is slightly irritating as I had specified it in my xaml correctly but when the request is made the values differ.

I use an older version of the WmsLayer code, and when I updated to the latest, it broke. I think there's a problem with the GetCapabilities() method and some WMS sources (not all WMS are equal :) ). Get out your Fiddler to see what error the WMS returns.

Hi, it's not a Silverlight app so I don't need one. The WMS layers given in the ESRI examples work, just nothing else it seems.
