Weird. Still couldn't get it working locally so I changed my link tag from this
<link href="http//www.lythixdesigns.com/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> to this <link href="http://www.lythixdesigns.com/favicon.ico?v2"; rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" /> and it started working locally immediately. I copied off the url they are using on the Microsoft website. Theirs leaves off the http: so starts with href="//www.mi which seemed odd. Based on my knowledge of how I used to trick Silverlight into not caching the xap file by changing the url (appending version) I think its definitely a caching issue. It's a shame hitting clear cache doesn't seem to do anything. thanks again Stephen On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 12:07 PM, Fredericks, Chris <[email protected] > wrote: > It may be local to you, a cached page somewhere.
