Issues with MEF and WCF

Question

Hi:

I have a simple MEF framework. The total number of projects of the framwork are...

1. The actual widget (MEF.Extension)

2. The silvelright host (MEF.Host)

3. The web/server project simple loading MEF.Host)

Now, MEF.Extensions is doing a [Export] of its one UserControl. ON the MEF.Host site I am importing that control. Here is some code...

MEF.Extensions

 [Export(typeof(UserControl))]
    public partial class BubbleUserControl : UserControl
    {

MEF.Host

namespace EmployeeBubbles.Host.ViewModels
{
    public class MainViewModelBase : ViewModelBase
    {                   
        [Import("BubbleUserControl")]
        public BubbleUserControl BubbleUserControl { get; set; }
        
        public MainViewModelBase()
        {           
            this.BubbleUserControl = new BubbleUserControl("E2177");
            OnPropertyChanged("BubbleUserControl");            
        }
      
    }
}

So far so good. Now compilation errors, but when I run the application I get an error. MEF.Extensions is referencing a WCF service to pull data from database. In run-time I get an error sayng that "ServiceReference.ClientConfig is not part of .xap application package." What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Your main application (Silverlight host) doesn't have the ServiceReference.ClientConfig file referenced in the project? If not, add a copy (or a linked file from the MEF.Extension project) to it and it should start working.
