not able to access dynamic map service

[DeepikaJain]

Hey

This might be a simple stuck but i am not able to resolve it. I have published a simple map service and is trying to access the map service through silverlight application. I am working on visual studio 2008 sp1 with silver light api 1.2 and silvelight kit installed.\

I haev also added clientaccesspolicy.xml and crossdomain xxml file to wwwroot directory.

here is the piece of my code:
<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

    mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
   
  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="400"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

       
           
            <esri:Map x:Name="MyMap">
            <esri:Map.Layers>
                <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer ID=" map1" Url="https://localhost/ArcGIS/rest/services/forS/MapServer" />
                <!--<esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="StreetMapLayer"  Opacity="1"
           Url="http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_StreetMap_World_2D/MapServer" />-->

            </esri:Map.Layers>
        </esri:Map>

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

If I try to access online layer, it works fine. but it does access the service hosted in my machine.

It throws the error : "A security exception occured while trying to access REST Endpoint".

Please help.

Thanks

Dear Domonique

Thanks for helping me out.

I am not able to access the service even if i put http://..... url.

I have placed both the xmls in the wwwroot directory.

Check that:
   - your 'ClientAccessPolicy.xml' file is on the root of your services Web server (i.e. not your web application server if not the same).
   - this file contains this line:  domain uri="http://*"

If this is not working, try using fiddler to look at the requests sent to the servers. This might give a clue.

Dear Dominique

What is meant by root of Services web server? The Service is using IIS as the web server.

yes, the xml does have that line.

Thanks
Deepika

By 'root', I meant that you should get your policy file by a request like : https://localhost/ClientAccessPolicy.xml
(by supposing 'localhost' is still your map server).

[DeepikaJain]

Yes, I do get the policy file by that url...but i still get the same error.

[DeepikaJain]

Is there anyone else..who is facing the error

Are you able to access the REST endpoint from your web browser? This blog post might help: http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/silverlightwpf/archive/2009/08/24/Troubleshooting-blank-layers.aspx
