Ok, I can see why MS has gone with one locale per xap, to reduce the xap file size. But surely this should be the choice of the developer! I should be able to choose if I want one locale per xap or accept having a larger xap containing all the locales i wish.

It's bad enough that SL doesn't support dynamic resource dictionaries, so now I am going to have to have a xap per different customer branding of the app multiplied by the number of supported locales!!

talk about support/build script nightmare..

As there is on xap per locale, is there a way to define the Source property to point to the correct locale folder path depending on URL Querystring?

I'm pretty novice with asp.net, but as far as I can see property values cannot be dynamic.

As I could potentially have hundreds of xap files for different brands/locales, it is not something I would want to code in javascript, code behind c# would be better.

If you want multi lang xap then the culture assemebly's must not in culture sub-folders but in the root of the xap itself.

eg add <AssemblyPart Source="SilverlightApplication1.de.resources.dll" /><AssemblyPart Source="SilverlightApplication1.fr.resources.dll" /> into Deployment.Parts section in file Properties\AppManifest.xml
