I have a Silverlight-based solution (SLN) with many projects. This application has been deployed before and I needed to make a change to two projects.
Do I only have to deploy the corresponding two DLLs or what else do I have deploy, e.g. do I also have to deploy the XAP? I’ve looked at the Modified Dates and it seems that many projects/DLLs also got updated and I’m not sure why. I want to deploy the minimal amount of files as possible.
I would’ve thought only those two DLLs are needed, but I guess I’m not too sure on the whole SL framework.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
If the .NET library has been updated at all, then perhaps some of the resource/support DLLs have also been updated. If that’s the case then I think it would be safest to deploy all changed DLLs.
Also, I was under the impression that the XAP wrapped up all DLLs for the application, so I would think you would have to redeploy the entire XAP? (If you change the extension of a XAP to .ZIP you can actually see which files are included in the XAP).
I’ve been out of the Siverlight loop for awhile though, so perhaps I am remembering things incorrectly.
