    Chapter 9. Connecting to the Web

    Chapter 9. Connecting to the Web

    IN THIS CHAPTER, WE WILL:

    • Connect to cross-domain servers, talk about permissions and how to work around them.

    • Place simple web requests (download and upload) with the WebClient class.

    • Understand and handle networking errors.

    • Send more complex requests with the HttpWebRequest class and talk about differences with the WebClient class.

    • Discover the new networking stack and understand why it was needed.

    • Handle XML and JSON-based responses.

    • Set up and communicate with WCF services.

    Silverlight applications are historically tightly bound to the World Wide Web. After all, even in the case of the so-called out-of-the-browser applications that we will study in Chapter 14, “Enhancing Line of Business Applications and Running Out of the Browser,” the very first contact that the user has with the application is through a web browser. Most Silverlight applications are online all the time.
