Note that there are actually a couple of small bugs in the sample application that Visual

Studio catches but Expression Blend does not. In the

ContactsViewSampleDataModel.xaml

fi le, there are actually two records with the

Name=”Adams, Terry”. To fi x this, delete the

Contacts_ViewModels:ContactViewModel node that this duplicate record is in or change

the

Name property to something unique. Also there is a missing assembly reference. Add a

reference to

System.Windows.Controls.Data.Input.

Figure 14-9 shows the Silverlight applications looks the same in the Visual Studio designer.

2. Delete the web project. You will be using SharePoint as the Silverlight host, so you will not

need the web project that was included as part of the sample. Right-click the web project and

click Remove. Click OK to verify.

3. Add a blank SharePoint project. Right-click the solution node in the Solution Explorer and

click Add ➪ New ➪ Project from the context menu. Click the SharePoint node in the New

Project dialog. Visual Studio ships with a number of SharePoint project templates. You can

see the complete list in Figure 14-10. Name the project ContactsSharePointProject. Click OK

to create the project.
