Debug a Silverlight svc Service

Question

Ok I saw that many questions do have been asked before, but not one of the answered solutions will solve my problem.

I have created a silverlight application which uses some Database calls. I have 4 or 5 different calls to a database. 4 of those worked as expected, the last one will throw a crossdomain exception. But its the same Database only a different table.

On my development machine everything included the last database call is working. after publishing it I will got the crossdoamin error. I have the policy files in my root of the webservice. No difference.

So I tryed to remotedebug my app. But here my problem starts. I can set breakpoints in the normal page codes, but if I try to set a breakpoint in the Servcie I see that the breakpoints are greyd out so they will never be hit.

I dont have any idea what I am doing wrong, maybe someone can help me.

I use VS 2010 and Silverlight 5

I also have tried this http://cedricboudoya.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/how-to-debug-a-wcf-service/

but this doesnt work at all.

That link seems to be the right way to do it.

Put a breakpoint in your normal code just before it goes off to the service, then (Ctrl + Alt + P) - Attach to process and choose the database (In the type column it should read something like T-SQL, Managed)

The breakpoints should now become available and be hit when the program is resumed.

If this doesn't work, try reading around this area Fixing "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document."

Good luck!
