Discussion
The JavaScript code in the TestPage.Html.js file is responsible for actually rendering the Silverlight content in the client's browser. This is done by calling the createSilverlight() JavaScript function from within the TestPage.Html page. The JavaScript code in the Silverlight.js file checks if Silverlight is installed and redirects the user to install if chosen to do so.
Please note that this Silverlight project does not incorporate ASP.NET functionality/content, only basic HTML content. In order to create an ASP.NET website that makes use of Silverlight functionality, please refer to my article titled "Creating a Silverlight-AJAX-Enabled Web Site with Silverlight 1.1 and VS.NET 2008".
