ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF samples empty

TonyAlmeida — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:12:45 GMT

I have installed
    * Visual Web Developer Express 2010
    * Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio
    * Expression Blend 4 SDK for Silverlight
    * ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF

I create a new project, select Silverlight application under Visual C#, Silverlight. I leave the New Web Project type: "ASP.NET Web Application Project". Then i add the ESRI References to my project. Copy the Sample from the ArcGIS API for Microsoft silverlight and when I run the project i get nothing but a blank white screen. I have tried the basic sample and nothing but blank white screen. Oh i did get an error when i first ran the project, the error was "InitializeComponent" does not exist in the current context, i click on the error and select generate method stud for 'InitializeComponent' in 'SilverlightApplication2.MainPage' after that the error went away, but i am still getting a blank white screen with no error now...I do not get an error in Visual nor do a get a 404 in feddler... I don't understand.

The name of your project is SilverlightApplication2.MainPage not ArcGISSilverlightSDK.DynamicMap. Try replacing it on the first line.
