Making the Silverlight XAP file expire from browser cache programmatically

Question

How to do I prevent a Silverlight XAP file being cached by the web browser?

The reason I want to do this is during development I don\'t want to manually clear the br

Answer 1

Add a query parameter to the URL for the XAP in the element on the HTML Page:

• clientBin/MyApp.xap?rev=1
• clientBin/MyApp.xap?rev=2

It will be ignored and break the cache. In IE8, there are some cache management tools: Open the Developer tools:

• Try Cache...Always Refresh from Server
• Try Cache...Clear Browser Cache for this domain...
