Silverlight and VSS

Whether it's the use of the Silverlight packager or some other issue, there seems to be a good deal of fighting between VSS and the compilation of a VWG Silverlight program.

I just found that if my web.config is read-only, the packager terminates with an exception (UnauthorizedAccessException) when trying to compile my application. It's read-only when it's checked into VSS, of course, and I normally wouldn't check it out unless I needed to change it.

Performing the check-out allowed the application to compile cleanly, and doing a 'compare' operation between what's on my drive and what's in VSS showed that the packager didn't change a thing. Why did it open it for write, then?

As a work with this more, I'm finding that most of my problems are coming from the use of the packager. Is there no way to include its functionality as an IDE add-on? I'm thinking that making it a first-class citizen in the build process will work much more smoothly.

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Of course, the packager thing was created as a separate "exe" just for a while until we will complete the ultimate Visual Studio Integration we are about to release in 6.2. The integration will be fully implemented and the packager will appear as an additional tab within the project's properties.

You are right regarding the problems, but since there is still no solution from Microsoft regarding the XAP packaging issue, and VWG is one step ahead with Silverlight, by enabling enterprise development upon Silverlight, Visual WebGui needed to provide this capability in order to enable a mechanism to divide a large application into logical packages according to their usage...

However, please note that the packager will not stay in its current format for a long time. I can promise you that :)

Regards,
Itzik Spitzen
