Silverlight debug problem & solution

You can run a Silverlight project, but can not debug the Silverlight code. The debug point is not reached at all. What could be the reasons & how to solve it?


1. Is this issue with any silverlight applications on your machines or a specific app?To know this you can create a test silverlight app & try to debug that.

2a. if issue with all sl apps, check if Silverlight runtime is same developer_runtime, if not install it

2b. if issue is with specific app, in vs web-project properties make sure that the debugging check boxes are, sql-no asp-yes silverlight-yes native-no

3b. if 2b does not work then, check if the website is actually using right xap? - Remove Silverlight app from website - Delete whole ClientBin folder - Add SL app again

Does anyone has additional steps to resolve this (based on experience) ??

Ummeed waali dhoop

What made me keep smiling throughout this weekend?
Its the coca cola song 'Ummeed waali dhoop', definitely the most positive thing i heard in recent times

Ummeed waali dhoop, Sunshine waali aasha

Rone ki wajah hai kam, Hansne ke bahane jyada
Zidd hai muskuraayenge, Khush rehne ka hai waada

Umeed wali dhoop, Sunshine waali asha

Tum dil se agar puchhoge, Woh khush rehna hi chahe
Jab sache mann se maango, Toh khul jaati hai raahein
Toh khul ke khusi lutaao, Ye kya aadha-aadha

Umeedon wali dhoop, Sunshine Wali asha
Umeedon wali dhoop, Sunshine Wali asha

Believe in a happier tomorrow

Calvin: Life is this square of sidewalk

Let’s say that life is this square of the sidewalk. We are born at this crack and we die at that crack. Now we find ourselves somewhere inside the square and in the process of walking outside of it. Suddenly, we realize our time in here is fleeting. Is our quick experience here pointless? Does anything we say or do in here really matter? Have we done anything important? Have we been happy? Have we made the most of these precious few footsteps?
