Question

I'm trying to access my .xml file in the ClientBin with no success. code: WebClient xmlClient = new WebClient(); xmlClient.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(xmlClient_DownloadStringCompleted); Uri uri = new Uri("Antwerpen1.xml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute); xmlClient.DownloadStringAsync(uri); While debugging the uri throws the following error: System.InvalidOperationException The result throws the following error: This operation is not supported for a relative URI I can access my file with the following path : http://localhost:2546/contentManagement.Web/ClientBin/Antwerpen1.xml What am I doing wrong? update: I tried the same code in the code behind of my main page and it worked. Still no result with the webservice. update2: I found out it's not a problem of the URI but the xmlClient.DownloadStringAsync. The BaseAdress(path where the xml file in my clientbin is stored) is empty for some reason.. , ty in advance JavaScript questions and answers, JavaScript questions pdf, JavaScript question bank, JavaScript questions and answers pdf, mcq on JavaScript pdf, JavaScript questions and solutions, JavaScript mcq Test , Interview JavaScript questions, JavaScript Questions for Interview, JavaScript MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

Answer 1

You need to set up the client access policy for your web service to allow the service to work across domain boundaries. The MSDN page has more details, but basically you need a file called clientaccesspolicy.xml in the root directory of your web service which looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> This will allow anyone access. To lock it down replace the * in the uri with your url.
