I have spent a while going over all of the examples on http://www.silverlight.net/learn/quickstarts/

And I’m still pretty lost about Silverlight. I’m not understanding exactly how it gets ‘on’ to the website. Like… is there any kind of tutorial that shows how you make an HTML webpage that retrieves a silverlight page and displays it, so you can work with it?

All I’ve had to work with so far are the default generated .aspx files, which don’t really tell me much. And even using the default ‘MVC Application’ generator from Visual Studio is kind of cloudy and fuddled up.

I’ve done some google searches and glanced around at references, but maybe I’m just kind of dumb. I’m just not getting where it all ‘comes together’, so to speak. Any hints? Or am I just beyond learning?

    Here is the Microsoft tutorial on Embedding Silverlight into HTML. The .xap is the equivalent to Jnlp for modern applets and .swf for Flash. The parameters can control the code and can also be updated via Javascript. The silverlight plugin within the browser executes the application code. HTML just holds it in place.
