How to you implement this for a PRISM framework implementation where the xap url is not hardcoded but dynamically constructed?

I have tried this but i am facing issue when my authentication service is getting loaded.
This is the error i got after setting up the .xap file to have the date/time as you have given.

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘App_Web_hjqoojxr, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Can anyone please help me out?

Sorry my above posst had an actual image tag in it and the text didn’t come out how I wanted.

I meant to say: I cannot get the image tag in my splash screen to find the image.

This seems to work fine until you use a Silverlight splash screen. I cannot get the tag in my splash screen to find the image. You can take the standard silverlight object tag and append ?x=y to the source xap like /ClientBin/MySLApp.xap?x=y and it will stop showing the image.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

It currently does not work if you use Firefox 4.0+ and your xap is greater than 5MB in size. It is a known bug:

@kasim

I’ve read this
If you plan to have your users install the application OOB, and you expect to deploy updates to your application after it is deployed, you will need to stick to putting all the modules in a single XAP file. The Application.CheckAndDownloadUpdateAsync method will only go out and update the main XAP file that the application was launched from.

Hi,

My project has multiple modules in it. My startup project is just a dummy container and hence does not gets updated often. I want to load the modules within it to be updated whenever an update is available. The approach discussed above works good for the start-up xap but not for other modules. Could someone suggest a solution for modular loading of xap files when an update is available.
