288 Microsoft Visual Studio 2010: A Beginner’s Guide
Similar to WPF applications, Silverlight applications start with a MainPage.xaml file
and an App.xaml file, where App.xaml runs to initialize the application and MainPage
.xaml contains the display page. The Web site is a typical ASP.NET MVC application,
except that it does have a test page that hosts the Silverlight application, SilverlightDemo
CSTestPage.aspx (SilverlightDemoVBTestPage.aspx for VB). There’s also a Silverlight
DemoCSTestPage.html (SilverlightDemoVBTestPage.html for VB), which performs the
same function as the SilverlightDemoCSTestPage.aspx (SilverlightDemoVBTestPage
.aspx for VB) hosting Silverlight, except that the *.html version uses JavaScript and the
HTML object tag to host Silverlight. Listing 10-1 shows the contents of the test page and
how it hosts the Silverlight application. There is no C# or VB version of Listing 10-1
because the code is XAML, which works exactly the same with either language.
