Hi All,

I am getting an error at line "XDocument xml = XDocument.Parse(e.Result);"

An exception occurred during the operation, making the result invalid. Check InnerException for exception details.

Could anyone please help me? I am new to this technology and in the beginning stage.

Thanks,

Venkat.

Please guide me how to pass a user defined object to rest service for save or update operation--(i had tried both webclient as well as httpwebRequest ,but i am getting same error from both)

with reference to the above code, i had written the code for passing my user defined object to rest service for save operation ,but i am getting error remote server returned an error: not found in client.UploadStringCompleted event handler.

I am able to get my object same as above code, get part is executting successfully & i am getting my object but when i tried to pass object in post method i am getting the error, My code snippt is as per below--

//This is the method in rest service--

[WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "CreateNewEmployee",

Method = "POST",RequestFormat=WebMessageFormat.Xml,

ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml)]

public string PostEmployeeDetail(EmployeeDetail objEmployee)

{

//Some code is here

}

// below is the method written in silverlight 4.0 client

private void SaveEmployeeList()

{

WebClient client = new WebClient();

string updateUri = @"http://localhost:54475/Service1/CreateNewEmployee/";

EmployeeDetail objNewEmployee = new EmployeeDetail();

objNewEmployee.EmployeeIdentifier = 1;

objNewEmployee.EmployeeName = "Arti Singh";

objNewEmployee.ProjectName = "SmartGrid";

DataContractSerializer dataContractSerializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(EmployeeDetail));

MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

dataContractSerializer.WriteObject(memoryStream, objNewEmployee);

string xmlData = (System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(memoryStream.ToArray(), 0, (int)memoryStream.Length));

client.UploadStringCompleted += new UploadStringCompletedEventHandler (client_UploadStringCompleted);

client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/xml";

client.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;

client.UploadStringAsync(new Uri(updateUri), "POST", xmlData);

}

void client_UploadStringCompleted(object sender, UploadStringCompletedEventArgs e)

{

if (e.Error == null)

MessageBox.Show(e.Result);

}

i stucked over here & could not get any solution for it..

oh and by the way, I am using the WCF service application as the initial template for the REST service.

Gill,

I am stumbling over the same issue as Hemant. In order for you to consume the Dayweather Object in the silverlight client, you must have a reference to it somehow or perhaps duplicate the business objects on the client....which imo is not practical. Any help would be great ty.:)

@Hemant: what do you mean that you can't get the class in the project?
