WCF, Silverlight, and SharePoint… Oh my!

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 12:33 PM PDT

I was recently working on a project and needed to have Silverlight make a WCF call.  That is pretty straight forward until you place the Silverlight code inside SharePoint and want it to call a WCF that is also inside SharePoint. The first problem that I had to solve was getting Silverlight to be able to call the WCF correctly.  Since in Visual Studio when you make the connection, it will have the local server for the path.  Like http://localhost:95559/MyService.svc and for SharePoint I wanted it to point to the local server's name and in the _layouts directory.  Luckily I came across the following blog that helped with getting that to work: Silverlight ServiceReferences.ClientConfig Alternatives The only change I had to...(read more)

GraffitiCMS troubles, Microsoft SQL Server and my blog future.

Posted: 31 Aug 2009 07:54 AM PDT

Winston Churchill said - "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried." This sums up by blog experience with GraffitiCMS. As many of you have emailed me, my blog has been having problems for about a month. The default install of GraffititCMS has just crumbled over the increased traffic. It does down and my server needs to be rebooted (restarting IIS doesn't always fix the issues.) Files get locked and my server needs to be rebooted. The stats tables get screwed up and my server needs to be rebooted. I try to do comments admin and my server needs to be rebooted.
