The bottom line is one .xap file good enough in your HTML and ASPX page to deploy the silverlight control.

 

 

<form id="form1" runat="server" style="height:100%">

    <div id="silverlightControlHost">

        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">

            <param name="source" value="Silverlight_SimpleArithmetic.xap"/>

            <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="3.0.40818.0" />

            <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />           

        </object>

    </div>

</form>

<Deployment xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007/deployment"

 

      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"       EntryPointAssembly="Silverlight_SimpleArithmetic"       EntryPointType="Silverlight_SimpleArithmetic.App"     RuntimeVersion="3.0.40818.0">

 

    <Deployment.Parts>

 

        <AssemblyPart x:Name="Silverlight_SimpleArithmetic"                  

            Source="Silverlight_SimpleArithmetic.dll" />
