Question

I have just created a new silverlight app using Silverlight navigation template. All went well and its working 🙂

But the url has an extension of aspx … can we not remove like asp.net MVC has done?

    SilverlightApplication1TestPage.aspx

The next thing that i found strange is how it appends the page name, it uses # symbol like so

    SilverlightApplication1TestPage.aspx#Home

I thought it would be more natural to do this (also like asp.net mvc does)

     SilverlightApplication1TestPage/Home

     SilverlightApplication1TestPage/About

Is there a kind of work around or updated tamplete of some kind

Or its not possible?

Thanks

THanks everyone for comments, it got me thinking… and i think i have fixed it.. and found a solutions using asp.net 4.0 routing…

Add a global file to the asp.net project and then add this to application start

// Code that runs on application startup
        RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("SilverlightRoute",
        "MyApp",
        "~/SilverlightApplication1TestPage.aspx");
