Summary


This chapter marks the end of our journey through the Silverlight preparation guide. We covered how to use the Silverlight object tag to customize our Silverlight application by setting the right size, passing initialization parameters, or even setting a completely customized splash screen. We discussed how to improve loading time for our application by reading resources externally using the ZIP files and finished off with discussing the client access policy of Silverlight.

I hope this book aided you in your quest to be a Microsoft Certified Professional in Silverlight, and please feel free to contact me for any question you might have about the content of the book.
