[Question] Silverlight and vb.net Question!!

neil_hosey

Hi Lads and Ladies,

Im having an issue with my first sliverlight web project. Basically i have written a simple webservice that allows access to a database.

But when I try do a simple declaration in the silverlight/vb.net application:

Dim dt as DataRow

It gives an error saying 'type 'DataRow' is not defined'


Now, I already have System.Data imported so I really am baffled with this one

Anyone any idea here?

Thanks in advance,
Neil

EDIT: Ive also included <add namespace="System.Data"/> into the web.config

Trampas

might be something else in the code causing the issue

ah ive realised ive been doing this arse ways...

Instead of creating your own web service and referencing it, you should use the new RIA WCF service with LINQSQL to connect to DB in the same project.

In the end it is so handy though.. code for the webservice is autogenerated for you. You can bind the WCF service to tables or views, which is v handy... thats all ive gotten so far.
