Host the Silverlight application in a new Web site

Select this check box if you want to add a separate ASP.NET-based Web site or ASP.NET-based Web application project to your solution to host the Silverlight application. If you do not select this check box, an HTML test page will be generated dynamically to host your application.

When you select this check box, the following additional options are enabled.

  • New Web project name
    Specifies the name of the project that will host your Silverlight application.

  • New Web project type
    Specifies the type of the Web site project that will host your Silverlight application. It can be an ASP.NET Web Application Project or an ASP.NET Web Site. For more information, see Web Application Projects Overview.

Options

The Options area has various options for your Silverlight application.

  • Silverlight Version
    Specifies the version of Silverlight to target, if you have multiple versions installed.

  • Enable WCF RIA Services
    Select this check box if you want your new Silverlight application to be linked to an ASP.NET Web Application project that uses WCF RIA Services.

    NoteNote:

    This check box is enabled only when you have WCF RIA Services installed.

    When you select this check box, WCF RIA Services will:

    • Generate proxy classes in the Silverlight client project that allow integration with domain services in the ASP.NET Web Application project.

    • Copy shared business logic classes from the ASP.NET Web Application project to the Silverlight client project.

      For more information, see the WCF RIA Services.
