I am using Silverlight since last 25 days and it changed the way of coding. I am embedding everything in xap which makes me little confuse.

My Question:

1. To what extend we need to write the code in aspx

2. If I am developing and ASP.NET application with Silverlight what proportion of code normally I need to put in XAML considering all pages are fully powered by Silverlight pages.

Silver light is best as compate to ASPX.

    Well, when you refer to "aspx" you do mean .net pages? versus php pages, or similiar? I'd say from a server technology prospective, you could technically write it in any preferred server technology. Although since Silverlight is a Microsoft technology you'd be best developing in .net . (.aspx)

The asp.net pages usually are there just to 'host' the Silverlight application. So really you need both to make it work anyway. No real if's, but rather its required to make it work. Although you can use other server technologies to host the silverlight embedded code. 

Let me know if you have other questions
