No, you can put both UserControls in one XAP if you want.

You must use initParams to select which will be displayed when the application loads.

Here is an example that I used in the past: -

private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
  string pageName = "UserControl1";

  if (e.InitParams.ContainsKey("startPage"))
  {
     pageName = e.InitParams["startPage"];
  }

  Type pageType = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType("SilverlightApplication1." + pageName);
  RootVisual = (UIElement)Activator.CreateInstance(pageType);

}

The list of parameters of your tag object will look like this: -

<param name="source" value="ClientBin/SilverlightApplication1.xap"/>
<param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
<param name="background" value="white" />
<param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="3.0.40624.0" />
<param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
<param name="initParams" value="startPage=UserControl2" />

Silverlight, , SL, , startPage.

XAP , , XAP .
