Changing Silverlight Application name dynamically

Question

I'm creating a deployable module where some parts are written in Silverlight, and I'm making the SL application deployable for OOB usage. However, I want to make Silverlight take the name of the website that it's deployed from, such as, when a user installs it from Example.com, I want to have "example.com application" with the site's own icon in the shortcut. Is there any "supported" method of doing this, or will I be going with locating the XAP file and manually changing AppManifest.xaml inside it?

You will need to find out your URL of your application:

string appURL = Application.Current.Host.Source.AbsoluteUri.Substring(0, Application.Current.Host.Source.AbsoluteUri.IndexOf(@"ClientBin/"));

So this will solve the title problem, next is the icon. You could load the image from the page:

Uri uri = new Uri(String.Format("{0}/favicon.png", appURL));
IconImage.Source = new BitmapImage(uri);

It's not perfect, you will have to manipulate appURL to get the domain name only.
