I am totally to Silverlight and am Getting started. I finished the first of the Getting started series here and now seeing into HTML Bridge now over here. Visual Studio created a website for me when it created the new silverlight application. For the HTML bridge tutorial I created another silverlight page(Is this what i should create) and put some code into it.

Question

How do I embed this into a html page? ( I know how to do it using markup as well as javascript, I am confused as to how to get the application out of single xap file inside ClientBin directory)

    With Silverlight you are dealing with a single plugin within a HTML page. That plugin is the single XAP file that the HTML page downloads.

    Your Silverlight app may also have many pages, but its navigation is not the same as HTML navigation (it uses bookmark URLs to fool the browser into staying on the same page while it changes content). There is only the one HTML page involved.

    Initially, just to test your new page, you can change the app.xaml.cs file to create your new Silverlight Page instead of RootVisual = new Main() etc. Long term you need one Silverlight application per separate plugin your require.

    Update (from comments):

    Pages in Silverlight are changed by substituting a visual element of the single main page with the contents of another Silverlight page.

    You cannot simply replace the RootVisual (as that can only be set at startup).

    Start with a new Navigation or Business application project to see the basics (navigation adds a lot of complexity, but once you see how it works it is pretty cool).
