One of the first things I would do after installing CSWorks is to open a browser on another machine in the network and type in "http://MyTestBox/CSWorksDemo/PipesAndTanksDemo.html", where MyTestBox is the name of the machine where I installed CSWorks.
This doesn't work. And it's not supposed to work because of the cross-domain web service call restrictions imposed by your browser. If you have a look at ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file in the Pipes and Tanks Demo xap package (CSWorks.Client.PipesAndTanksDemo.xap in your CSWorksDemo/ClientBin folder; don't worry it's just a ZIP file with XAP extension), you will find endpoint description for LiveData web service calls that looks as follows:
In our case, when Silverlight is trying to make a web service call to http://localhost/CSWorksDemo/LiveDataWebService/Service.asmx, the browser checks the URL of the application which happens to start with "http://MyTestBox". Since it doesn't start with "http://localhost", the browser considers this a potential security threat and blocks the call.
To make things work, just replace "localhost" in the config file with the name (or IP address) of your CSWorks server:
and save updated config to the xap file. Now refresh the page in the browser on the remote machine - Pipes and Tanks Demo should work fine.
Update (June 25, 2010):
with Silverlight 4, you can use relative web service addresses, see this post for details.
