When working with Silverlight, I've noticed that Firefox will cache the XAP file, so if I do an update, a user may be stuck using an outdated version. Is there a way to force the browser to either re-download the XAP file every time, or maybe only force it to after an update has been published? Or is there a setting in the Silverlight config that stops the browser from caching the XAP file altogether?
Thanks,

The query string works perfectly, but I wouldn't use DateTime.Now, because it forces the user to re-download the app every time. Instead, we use the following:
This way all you have to do is increment the version number in the AssemblyInfo.cs file.
