Dreaded Red X BUT The trace says I am getting the data - but lightswitch is not rendering/loading it

Question

I am getting the dreaded Red X however the fiddler trace implies I get the data.  I have a single screen connected to a remote server database table (Hello world stuff).  I am unable to publish to the server using Lightswitch (another problem) but I can transfer the package and install it.  When I run this I get no data showing up.

The fiddler overview trace data consists of:

The specific trace on the last item above is:

 which seems to be good - as my 3 records of data are contained in there  - SO WHY ISN'T LIGHTSWITCH SHOWING IT ON THE SCREEN?

The only error I can see is a warning that /favicon.ico is missing - I don't think this could be it and I don't know why it's there anyway.

thanks

Answer 1

What browser are you using? There is a known issue with Chrome. The fix is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattev/archive/2012/06/25/working-around-the-chrome-data-loading-bug-in-lightswitch-2012-rc.aspx
