Re: [RTW] SL application in ZIP file and Application.Host

Patrick8639:
When the Silverlight application is in a ZIP, we have only the file name. In this case, it is not possible to have the server name.

Nobody from Microsoft's Silverlight team has a comment about this?

Hannes,

When it is not your web server and they don't want to register the XAP MIME type, we cannot use the "common way".

the "common" way is to register mimetype for XAP!

Hello,

When a web server is not configured to process an XAP file, the common solution is to rename the XAP with a ZIP extension so the server will send it.

Unfortunately this makes a problem when we need to use Application.Current.Host:

When the Silverlight application is in a XAP file, we have the full URI of the application.
When the Silverlight application is in a ZIP, we have only the file name. In this case, it is not possible to have the server name.
