This could be due to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-dom

I was getting following error when consuming web service in Silverlight application. This was happening because my Web Service is hosted on other domain (in local, it exists in a separate project).

This could be due to attempting to access a service in a cross-domain way without a proper cross-domain policy in place, or a policy that is unsuitable for SOAP services. You may need to contact the owner of the service to publish a cross-domain policy file and to ensure it allows SOAP-related HTTP headers to be sent. Please see the inner exception for more details.

To solve this error, create crossdomain.xml in the web service project root folder file with below content

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
  <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="SOAPAction,Content-Type"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

and you should be able to access this web service from the Silverlight.

Hope this will help.

Thanks

0	nice , you need another File too "clientaccesspolicy.xml" defined like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <access-policy> <cross-domain-access> <!-- Silverlight 3 or higher requires the http-request-headers attribute. --> <policy> <allow-from http-request-headers=""> <domain uri="http://" /> <domain uri="https://" /> <domain uri=""/> </allow-from> <grant-to> <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/> </grant-to> </policy> </cross-domain-access> </access-policy> normally these Files goes together Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda [Administrator] SheoNarayan, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

		<!-- Silverlight 3 or higher requires the http-request-headers attribute. -->

		<policy>

			<allow-from http-request-headers="*">

				<domain uri="http://*" />

				<domain uri="https://*" />

				<domain uri="*"/>

			</allow-from>

			<grant-to>

				<resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>

0	For me in the local machine, it works without adding the clientaccesspolicy.xml file. Could you both explore more on this? Regards, Sheo Narayan http://www.dotnetfunda.com SheoNarayan, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	I think the clientaccesspolicy.xml is needed only when you are trying to consume the WCF service not Web Service (.asmx). Regards, Sheo Narayan http://www.dotnetfunda.com SheoNarayan, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
