Sharepoint 2010 deployment problem

Question

I have a VS2010 solution with two projects, MyProject.Silverlight and MyProject.Sharepoint. I want to automatically deploy the .xap silverlight ouput into the VirtualDirectories\\80\\wpresources folder.

The sharepoint project has a single module which references the silverlight output xap file using "project output references". The sharepoint project is configured with the "WebApplication" assembly deployment target.

If I set the .xap deployment type to anything other than ClassResource, the file ends up where I would expect it to be. However, if I choose ClassResource (which is the correct one, right?), I cannot see it being deployd anywhere.

This seems to only be the case when I use the "project output references" option. If I manually add the xap file as an existing item and choose deployment type ClassResource, it ends up in the correct folder.

Any clues?

Answer 1

If you want the XAP to be deployed at VirtualDirectories\\80\\wpresources , why would you choose ClassResources ?

The resources get embedded within the assembly which probably you are not looking for.
