Running Silverlight Out-of-Browser (OOB)

A new capability of Silverlight 3 is running out-of-browser, meaning that users can load your application onto their desktop without needing to visit the hosting site. To implement OOB, open the Silverlight application properties by double-clicking the Properties folder in Solution Explorer. You’ll see a window similar to Figure 10-4.

Most of the properties in Figure 10-4 have been covered in previous chapters. What’s different is the section on Silverlight build options, which allows you to set the version and check the box to reduce the size of the *.xap file through caching. However, leave the option to reduce the *.xap file size unchecked if running OOB because it’s not compatible
