Silverlight 2 and Duplex-Services deployed to IIS7

I’ve prepared this Silverlight 2 Beta 2 solution based on the example described in the official documentation.

You can try it just following these simple steps:

  • open the solution using Visual Studio 2008;
  • deploy the Wcf Service “DuplexService” to http://localhost/DuplexService;
  • copy the included crossdomain.xml and clientaccesspolicy.xml in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\;
  • run the project “DuplexClientWeb” from within Visual Studio or deploy it to IIS.

Enjoy!

Check out the project Home Page on RubyForge!
