Btw, Im making a silverlight page called Example.com

[Plater]

Is this:
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microso ft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Point to a valid dtd schema for "x" ?

[Curtis Rutland]

That is a standard schema used in Silverlight.... that isn't the problem.

Unfortunately, I can't see what the problem is...

[Plater]

Would it care about being Example.Com.Pag e1 in assembly 'ArcForex.com' ?

[Curtis Rutland]

OK, I know this is weird, but give it a try...(because I googled your error message and found something like this)

Maybe it doesn't like an absolute path to the image....try adding the image to the project, and giving it a web-style path relative to the project.

So if you made a folder in the project called images, the path would be
images/filename.jpg

Try that and see what happens.

[Plater]

That would actually make a lot of sense, frequently you would not be allowed out of the web application's "root", particularly for html elements(Same would apply for xml elements used?)

[Curtis Rutland]

Yeah, since this will be deployed via the web, you wouldn't be able to access local resources anyway...so that might be the problem right there.

thanks guys. Got it working.
