Problem with conversion of existing project to Silverlight 4

问题

We have a working Silverlight 3 project. After changing the target framework to Silverlight 4 the application won't start anymore. It throws an exception in the following line in the generated InitializeComponent() method:

System.Windows.Application.LoadComponent(this, new System.Uri("/SLAppMain;component/App.xaml", System.UriKind.Relative));

Here is the exception (note the inner exception):

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException occurred
  Message= [Line: 0 Position: 0]
  LineNumber=0
  LinePosition=0
  StackTrace:
       bei System.Windows.Application.LoadComponent(Object component, Uri resourceLocator)

The problem is that the type System.Security.AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute is not contained in the Silverlight version of mscorlib.dll.

I have no idea how to fix this nor where to look for causes. Has anyone encountered this problem? What could possibly cause this error?

回答1:

the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute class does not exist in SL 4 (neither in mscorlib, nor anywhere else) and did not exist in SL 3 either. So there must be more than just the conversion from SL 3 to SL 4 to this I guess - is AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute used in your code somewhere?

Cheers, Alex

EDIT: Actually, you might want to take a look into your app's AssemblyInfo.cs (in the Properties folder). Perhaps the attribute is used there like

[assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers(true)]

. You could then simply remove it and see what happens...

回答2:

Do you use Unity for silverlight in your project ? I had exactly the same problem yesterday, and the error disappeared when I de-referenced unity

回答3:

This walk through REALLY helped me with the same issue http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/RiaServices/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=5122

回答4:

Doing a clean build followed by a full rebuild fixed this issue for me.

回答5:

Dependencies with the same name will be quietly overwritten and packaged into a XAP after the compilation, so make sure that different target platforms of your projects don't build into the same output folder.
