How does Silverlight determine an assembly is “Silverlight”?

Question

I\'m trying to compile code from F# to use in Silverlight. I compile with:

--noframework --cliroot \"C:\\program Files\\Microsoft Silverlight\\2.0.31005.0\" --standalon

Answer 1

Visual Studio uses the IsSilverlightAssembly() function in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Silverlight.SLUtil type to check if a reference can be set.

David Betz has a nice blog post describing the details here.
