Wcf Data Service

Hi
I have created a basic WCF Dataservices using ADO.net entity framework in silverlight. When i about to create method and access it i m getting error as bad request,Error in query syntax.

I have created Wcf Dataservice as
public static void InitializeService(IDataServiceConfiguration config)
{
config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.All);
config.SetServiceOperationAccessRule("*", ServiceOperationRights.All);

config.UseVerboseErrors = true;
}

[WebGet]
public string GetUsers(string userId)
{
return "my data";
}

my browser uri is
http://localhost:50449/DataService.svc/GetUsers?userId='1'


And here is the Code from Client:
public void LoadData(string userId)
{
var qry = ctx.CreateQuery("GetUsers").AddQueryOption("UserId", string.Format(@"'{0}'", userId));

qry.BeginExecute(new AsyncCallback(OnLoadComplete), qry);

}
When i execute via browser uri i m getting the result. Not by accessing via method in SL.
I found in SL it adds () in browser URI as like this
http://localhost:50449/DataService.svc/GetUsers()?userId='1'

After a long search we can execute the method as mentioned below which solve me the problem.

ctx.BeginExecute(new Uri(string.Format("{0}GetUsers?UserId={1}", smileEntites.BaseUri, "'1' "), UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute), OnLoadComplete, null);

void OnLoadComplete(IAsyncResult result)
{

try
{
// Get the results and add them to the collection
IQueryable queryResults = smileEntites.EndExecute(result).AsQueryable();
foreach (var coursw in queryResults)
{
}


}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if (HtmlPage.IsEnabled)
{
HtmlPage.Window.Alert("Failed to retrieve data: " + ex.ToString());
}
}
}

Bypassing the Image Cache

Hi,
By default Silverlight will not download an image more than once if is contained within the image cache. That is, as long as the URI remains the same it will reference the image from the cache.
So what if the image changed on the server even though it has the same URI? Your application can force an update by setting the property IgnoreImageCache to true.
Example:
Image img = new Image();
Uri uri = new Uri("http://YourServer.com/MyImage.png", UriKind.Absolute);
BitmapImage bi = new System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapImage(uri);
bi.CreateOptions = BitmapCreateOptions.IgnoreImageCache;
img.Source = bi;
LayoutRoot.Children.Add(img);

Paging in wrapPanel

Here is the paging Functionality in Wrap Panel
I have added Wrap panel using the namespace system.windows.Controls.toolkit as shown in the image


Do not set width on wrap panel. Wrap panel loads image based on main page size changes
I have loaded images from xml and when the main window is resized paging changes based on that

public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.SizeChanged += new SizeChangedEventHandler(MainPage_SizeChanged);
webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(webClient_OpenReadCompleted);
webClient.OpenReadAsync(new Uri("Application.xml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(MainPage_Loaded);
}

void MainPage_SizeChanged(object sender, SizeChangedEventArgs e)
{
Paging();
}
private void Paging()
{
appHeight = this.ActualHeight;
appWidth = this.ActualWidth;
pageSize = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(((this.ActualHeight) - 216) / 38));
if (pageSize != 0.0)
{
pagecount = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling(totalSize / pageSize));
PageStackPanel.Children.Clear();
myWrapPanel.Children.Clear();
if (pagecount != 1)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= pagecount; i++) {
HyperlinkButton href = new HyperlinkButton();
href.Content = i + 1;
href.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(href_Click);
PageStackPanel.Children.Add(href);
}
}
}
GetInteractivity(1);
}

void href_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
HyperlinkButton hf = sender as HyperlinkButton; GetInteractivity(Convert.ToInt32(hf.Content));
}
void webClient_OpenReadCompleted(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
xmlParser = new XMLParser(e.Result);
BindXML(); webClient.OpenReadCompleted -= new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(webClient_OpenReadCompleted);
totalSize = interactivityList.Count; Paging();
GetInteractivity(1);
}
catch (Exception ex) { }
}
private void GetInteractivity(double pgSize)
{
myWrapPanel.Children.Clear();
int startVal = Convert.ToInt32((pgSize - 1) * pageSize);
int endVal = Convert.ToInt32((pgSize) * pageSize);
endVal = endVal > Convert.ToInt32(totalSize) ? Convert.ToInt32(totalSize) : endVal;
for (int i = startVal; i <=endVal;i++)
{
Image img = new Image();
img.Width = 160;
img.Height = 160;
string imgpath = interactivityList[i].imagePath.ToString();
Uri uri = new Uri(imgpath, UriKind.Relative);
ImageSource src = new BitmapImage(uri);
img.Source = src;
img.Tag = interactivityList[i].xapfilePath;
img.MouseLeftButtonDown += new MouseButtonEventHandler(image1_MouseLeftButtonDown);
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle();
rect.Width = 100;
rect.Height = 100;
myWrapPanel.Children.Add(img);
myWrapPanel.Children.Add(rect);
}
}
private void BindXML()
{
List elements = xmlParser.GetElements("Application");
if (elements.Count > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i <= elements.Count; i++)
{
Interactivity interactivity = new Interactivity();
imageElement = elements[i].Element("ImagePath");
interactivity.imagePath = imageElement.Value.ToString();
xapElement = elements[i].Element("xapFilePath");
interactivity.xapfilePath = xapElement.Value.ToString();
interactivityList.Add(interactivity);
}
}
} public class Interactivity
{
public string imagePath { get; set; }
public string xapfilePath { get; set; }
}

Replace <= with <
