What would be the advantages and disadvantages of creating external silverlight modules for dynamic loading using:
1 – a silverlight class library (dll on ClientBin)
2 – a silverlight application (xap on ClientBin)
1) Easier to work with. Fewer ways to do things.
2) Harder to handle, able to have more stuff packed in with it.
It’s really the ability to pack things with em that makes them different. While XAP takes a bit more to deal with, neither one is that big a deal once you’re set up to download them. Setting up the download and uniqueness of loading them might even be the harder part of loading them.
Of course there is the fact that by default the XAP is for an application.
(Example of dynamically loading a XAP is at silverlight 4, dynamically loading xap modules)
