I have a project with a silverlight application and pages on aspx c# the thing is I want to use session variables from my aspx to the silverlight I have my session variables fine defined on my aspx like : Session["variableroom"] = "R1";
Now I know silverlight can´t read server variables because is only client side now I read on many places a way to do that read is making a WCF service I made the service but when I test the service like this way: svcutil.exe http://localhost:50582/Service1.svc?wsdl Appears me an error:

Anyone know what is happening here? Or any other solution to pass session variables to my silverlight?.
Thank you

You'll probably need to change

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

to

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)]

indicating that the service must run in an application domain with ASP.NET compatibility mode set to true since you are trying to access functionality from ASP.Net.

As Abhinav S points out: you also need to keep the session alive. You can do thei by issuing a call to it every few, like 10, minutes ... otherwise the stuff you stored in the session variables will just go away.

Update:
change

public object GetSessionVariable(string key)

to

public string GetSessionVariable(string key)

giving serializer some knowledge about what it supposed to serialize. SilverLight doesn't support the [Serializable] attribute, and while there are ways around this, it's best not to get into that topic at this stage.

Now build your esrvice and update the service reference in your SilverLight project.

Before you can bind to data from this service, you need to connect to the service from your SilverLight application, and retrieve the required value(s)

Solution 1

You need to keep the service project running (and point to the proper localhost port number (ie localhost:50582).

Comment from OP:
How can I keep my service project running? Only accesin via http on explorer? And where to put the data you said of port, because if I make view in explorer from visual studio to the service tell me service was created and all fine the problem is when you test like at the top I said.
Thank you
