Deploying Silverlight Applications Versus IIS

  • I created a silverlight app (I didn't choose my app to host in another web app).

  • Now I have created a simple welcome home page.

  • I created a virtual directory of my silverlight project in IIS to host applications.

4. When I view MainPage.xaml in loaclhost it doesn't work.

-> I think I ran a .xap file to host my application, but I don't know haw ??? OR Do I need to host the silverlight app from the .aspx page?

If you have not already created a web host project along with your Silverlight application, then when you debug your Silverlight application, it creates a file TestPage.html

in the bin \ debug directory under the project directory.

This page hosts the XAP, and this is what the IDE specifies as the page-opened browser instance created when debugging starts.



Hence, to host this on your IIS 5.1 server, you can create a virtual directory pointing to the bin \ debug folder in your project. Going to TestPage.html in this virtual directory (for example http://localhost/myvirtualdir/testpage.html

) will load your application.

You should have a Default.aspx page that hosts your Silverlight application. Set this to your default page to see if it works.
