The remote server returned an error: NotFound.

This one has crept up many times before, and I often find that if there has been a gap between the last time I saw it and now, that I would forget how to investigate this issue further and would go round in circles a few times second guessing what the problem might be. So, for me, and anyone else who gets this unhelpful error returned from a WCF service to Silverlight 4, download Fiddler 2, ensure it is set to Monitor all Connections in Fiddler Options and you can then view the soap message returned to the browser which contains the real error and will allow to investigate further.

First Post

Hello,

My name is Martin Cook and I'm a software developer in the UK working with Silverlight 4, Dynamics CRM 2011 and WCF technologies most of the time.

I also dabble in HTML5, jQuery, ASP.NET, Cocoa (iPhone) and other bits and pieces but my focus for this blog will be Silverlight 4, WCF and while I'm on this project CRM 2011.

I hope my adventures over the coming months or years help others to avoid issues I encounter, save people time and also serve as a reminder when I hit similar or the same problems in the future.

Bon Voyage,
Martin
