Deploying Silverlight applications that use CSLA for Silverlight

Here are a few steps that need to be taken in the process

Update XAP file for Silverlight application in order to set deployment time IP address/name
Make sure to install .NET framework version 3.5 SP1 on the application server that hosts WCF service
Check and create if missing MIME types for virtual directory that hosts Silverlight web application:
- Extension: .xap MIME type:application/octet-stream
- Extension: .xaml MIME type: application/xaml+xml
Set execute permissions on virtual directory to scripts only
Set content expiration to desired setting – I set mine to expire immediately
Update SQL server (or other database) connection string WCF host web.config file. If you are using IP protocol, then here is an example: Data Source=127.0.0.1SQL2008;Initial Catalog=MyDBName;User ID=myUser;Network Library=dbmssocn
