Reg : using local map service

[VikramS]

Hi all ,

I am trying to use local map service in silverlight

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <esri:Map Name="test" >
            <esri:Map.Layers>
                <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer x:Name ="mymap" Url="http://localhost/arcgis/services/test/MapServer"/>
            </esri:Map.Layers>
        </esri:Map>
           </Grid>

I am getting an exception as "Failed to initialize ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer : A security exception occured while trying to connect to the REST endpoint. Make sure you have a cross domain policy file available at the root for your server that allows for requests from this application."

Can anybody help me and let me know what is the problem . Thanks

You need to add a cross domain policy file to your server.

Check out the link below to get an example of the a cross domain policy file.

Hello Sir ,

I did as it has been mentioned in the link u provided. I am able to list the services with this url https://epps65335.campus.ad.utdallas.edu/arcgis/rest/services. When i access any one of the service . the url changes to http://epps65335.campus.ad.utdallas.edu/ArcGIS/rest/services/Crime/MapServer and hence i get an error to change http to https . How can i change the services url to https .  Help me . Thanks

Your Url must be rest service. Change your url like this: http://localhost/arcgis/rest/services/test/MapServer
