I create a Silverlight application. Visual Studio automatically creates a Silverlight project and an associated .Web project. I use OpenAccess to create a domain model from a very simple database (only two tables with a few columns, nothing else). I have tried creating the model from both MySql and Sql Server. Then I add a OpenAccess Domain Service to the project. I've tried adding the domain service based on Context and RLinq file. Then I build the project. When I goto my SilverlightApplication project and use Show Datasources, there is nothing there. It should be showing the Domain Service as datasource.
Is there a bug in Visual Studio? I've heard this might've been an old bug. Or perhaps I missed a crucial step? It's very frustrating and I'd appreciate any help.

I have tested the case you have provided and I can confirm that everything works out fine.
In order to see the available data sources that come from your ria data service you need to have opened a silverlight page. Please note that there is a slight delay from the time you open the data source tab to the time when it is actually populated. This occurs because of the code generation that needs to be done in order for you to have the actual data sources.
Please also note that you need to rebuild your web project after you have added the domain service.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it. Your hint regarding "In order to see the available data sources that come from your ria data service you need to have opened a silverlight page." was the key to repeatable success. It seems that the Silverlight project will recognize the .Web project's data source *only after* Running the solution at least once. Not what I would expect, but since it seems to work consistently now, I won't complain.
Once again, thanks so much for your help!
Actually in order for your data source tab to be populated you are not required to run your solution but just to open an silverlight page. Please note that depending on the scope of the application the process of populating the data source tab can be more time consuming.
I am happy you have managed to continue with your project. Please do not hesitate to contact us back should you face any further difficulties.
