I have a Silverlight 5.0 OOB application that works in Visual Studio 2010 to 2013. But I cannot get it to work in 2015. I've installed all of the same tools, etc, that required in the earlier versions. But no joy! Any one else have any luck? Or suggestions? Thx

Here's what I did to get my Silverlight 5 project working in Visual Studio 2015 RC:

Make sure you have WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP2 installed. Reboot your machine after install.

  1. Open properties page of Silverlight project
  2. Unlink server project by selecting "No Project Set" option under WCF RIA Services Link found on the Silverlight tab of properties page
  3. Recompile (get lots of errors)
  4. Re-link server project
  5. Recompile (no errors)
  6. Run project
  7. Clear browser cache. Important!
