Sys.InvalidOperationException: InitializeError Error #2104

I started development in silverlight recently. When everything is installed, i just started with a test application and on running the site i got the following exception.

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.InvalidOperationException: InitializeError error #2104 in control 'Xaml1': Could not download the Silverlight application. Check web server settings

I am surprised to see this error as all the required things are installed. But I missed one small thing. That is to add silverlight application MIME type to the web server(IIS). After adding this MIME type, my application run without any error.

Steps to add MIME type in IIS6:
1) Goto the silverlight web application/ website properties.
2) Open HTTP Headers Tab and find MIME types region.
3) Click MIME Type button and add new MIME type
4) Type .xap and application/x-silverlight-app as extension and MIME types respectively.
5) Save your settings. This will add silverlight mime type to the sever, so that our application run without any error.

Solution Array for List in WCF

Here is another common problem encounters with WCF Service in initial days. Suppose there is a method which returns a List of Objects the proxy will be generated as method which returns an array of objects. Reason: This problem is due to the default interpretation of collections. While generating proxy for the service all the collections are by default interpreted as arrays. That is why all the lists will be converted to arrays. Solution: If you are generating proxy by adding service reference from visual studio directly, there will be a 'advanced' button. Click that button and select the System.Generic.List as your Collection. This will resolve the problem. If you are generating proxy with svcutil here is the command to do the job. svcutil.exe http://ServerName/ServiceName/Servic.svc?wsdl /collectionType:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 or in short svcutil http://ServerName/ServiceName/Servic.svc?wsdl /ct:System.Collections.Generic.List`1 for more information go through this ...

Linq: Query for multiple join conditions in Linq to SQL

This is common to join a table with another on multiple conditions, Like Select * from Customer c Join Invoice i on c.CustomerID = i.CustomerID and c.CustomerTypeID = i.CustomerTypeID I need to write a Linq to SQL query for the same scenario. But the syntax for this query is a bit different to expect. The Linq query is as follows: From c in DataContext .Customers Join i in DataContext .Invoices on new { c.CustomerID, c.CustomerTypeID } equals new { i.CustomerID, i.CustomerTypeID } *DataContext in the above query should be replaced with actual datacontext name.

Troubleshoot WCF service returning object with null fields

When you are working with WCF service for the first time, generally you will get this error for some reason. Here is the description of the error: WebServiceReference . ServiceClient client = new WebServiceReference . ServiceClient (); WebServiceReference . ImplementationRequest req = new WebServiceReference . ImplementationRequest (); req = client.GetRequest(); Here the Method GetRequest will return an object of ImplementationRequest. Everything will run without any error but the req object will contain all null fields/ majority null fields. Solution: Those nulls are due to error in generating the proxy for the Data Contract defined by the service. Verify that [DataMember] attribute tag is given for all the data fields and [DataContract] for the Class. If those attributes are missing, the object will be generated with null values. If all fields have the tags but the issue is not resolved, then the service reference should be re-added and the proxy should be re-generated. Then t...
