Silverlight - created a new domainservice but how do I access it from client?

I have used the SL business application template and added a new blank, empty domain service in my Services folder on the .Web part of the solution. The class is DomainService1 and inherits from DomainService. It contains one method:

public class DomainService1 : DomainService {     public string Hello()     {         return "Hello World";     } } 

How do I access this service method from the client? I can't seem to create an instance of the domain service at all client side.....

The client side code is generated by RIA Services.

To access services that inherits DomainService you create a new context on the client side.

Replace the "Service" part of the name with "Context".

UserService = UserContext, ArticleService = ArticleContext etc.

Client code

var testContext = new TestContext();             testContext.Hello(); 

Service code

[EnableClientAccess]     public class TestService : DomainService     {         public string Hello()         {             return "Hello world!";         }     }

Please make sure you have enabled the RIA service for your project.

If your service name ends with a service tag then you will be able to convert it to a context like my service name is DomainService1 then at client side it could be accessed by DomainContext1. If on the server side, my Domainservice name is ABC, then I can directly access it by name, there is no need to context.

Service code:

[EnableClientAccess] public class TestService : DomainService {     public string Hello()     {         return "Hello world!";     } } 

Client code: On the client side you have to to declare a namespace like system.your web project.web.servicesmodel.client

Now,

TestContext test=new TestContext();  test.Hello(getData,null,false);` 

// first parameter is callback method, the second is not important for you, and the third is if any exception occurs then,

public void getData(InvokeOpration<string> value)   {     MessageBox.Show(""+value.Value);      } 

Now you can get the Hello World as a MessageBox.
