Why does a Silverlight application show a blank browser screen when created from exported template?
- by Edward Tanguay
I created a silverlight app (without website) named TestApp, with one TextBox:
<UserControl x:Class="TestApp.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<TextBlock Text="this is a test"/>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
I press F5 and see "this is a test" in my browser (firefox).
I select File | Export Template | name it TestAppTemplate and save it.
I create a new silverlight app based on the above template.
The MainPage.xaml has the exact same XAML as above.
I press F5 and see a blank screen in my browser.
I look at the HTML source of both of these and they are identical.
Everything I have compared in both projects is identical.
What do I have to do so that a Silverlight application which is created from my exported template does not show a blank screen?
(creating a WPF application from an exported template like this works fine)
