IIS Express: Testing Silverlight API Apps

MarkParr — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 20:24:53 GMT

Is anyone using IIS Express to test their Silverlight API Apps?

I'm trying to use it and access data that we have in a SQL Server ArcSDE but I keep getting a Cross Domain error. I've been trying to find the properly location for a clientaccesspolicy.xml file but I'm not having any luck. Has anyone else hit and resolved this issue w/ IIS Express? Where is the proper location for the .XML file?

Thanks

I'm no expert in this but the policy file is supposed to go at the root of the website.

I understand that but I'm not sure what the root of the website would be for IIS Express. That's what I'm trying to find out.

Thanks

Maybe you can run the SysInternals Process Monitor tool to find out where it is looking for the file?

Actually, looks like the problem was the clientaccesspolicy.xml file did not exist on the IIS server that I was trying to access. The Sysinternals Monitor helped though in that it verified that I had things locally in the right place.
