Recently, I upgraded my personal blog that contains a little Silverlight animation from Silverlight Alpha 1.1 to Silverlight 2 Beta 1. So, I basically recreated my Silverlight project to have a look at the new features.
When came the moment to deploy this new version to my host, I had a surprise: the animation was totally blank! :(
So, what?
Silverlight 2 now packs all required resources into a .XAP file (this is already the case for .XPS files). So, this new type has to be added to IIS as application/x-silverlight-app.
