XAP file is compressed (zip) file. To see the conents of the xap just change the extension xap to zip and use winZip and extract it. The following files might present in it. 1) Complied XAML files 2) External referenced assemblies 3) Application manifest 4) ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file. The xap file has mime type of application/x-silverlight.
