What is the significance of a .xap file in Silverlight?

A .xap file is basically a compiled Silverlight application. It is a kind of a zipped file that contains all the required files necessary for the Silverlight runtime to run the application.

The .xap file contains an application manifest (AppManifest.xaml) file and all the required DLLs which are required by the application to run. The .dll file has the same name as that of the application.
