[rabbitmq-discuss] Silverlight application with RabbitMQ

Fri Apr 30 21:05:06 BST 2010

Hi everyone,

I didn't test the STOMP plugin or the new AMQP version yet, so I can't give 
new information about it. However, thank you guys for all the feedback. I'm 
going to test it after finishing the Silverlight client.
I used all my time working on that and it finally seems to work. I ran the 
tests that where delivered with the client and they're all working (except 
the tests that didn't even work in the original project). After that, I ran 
some example projects, and they're also working. Like I said before, I 
commented out the things we don't need (XML things, SSL, ...), so they 
aren't working yet. These functions will be fixed afterwards.
About the version: It was simple to change the version by adding the version 
number in the AssemblyInfo.cs file.
About the PublicKeyToken: Well, that's what I thought before... However, 
thanks for that.
When I finish the project, I'll send it to you and in the meantime, I'll 
keep you posted.
Next week I'm on collegetrip, so there won't be any updates...

Kind Regards
