A .xap file is a
Silverlight-based application
package (.xap) that is generated when the Silverlight project is built. A .xap file is the compressed
output file for a Silverlight application. The .xap file includes
AppManifest.xaml, the compiled output assembly of the Silverlight project
(.dll), and the resource files referred to by the Silverlight application: * Web pages like .aspx files and .html files use Silverlight components by
loading .xap files using the <object> tag in HTML or by using the
<asp:Silverlight> tag in ASP.NET pages. * ".xap" files (pronounced "zap") use the standard Zip
compression algorithm to minimize client download
size. Rename this file to SilverlightTest.zip and open it using any decompression
tool. You can see that this is just like any other zip file, and it includes the project's output DLL
and another file called "AppManifest.xaml".
