The reason that it is not working properly is because when you removed the App.xaml file, Visual Studio loses that as the Startup object in the project properties. If you have created the App.xaml file (I add a default one here), then you go to Project Properties > Application > Startup Object and you choose your App.xaml file in the drop down. Here's the default XAML file:

XML

<Application
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  StartupUri="[mainpage].xaml">
  <Application.Resources>
  </Application.Resources>
</Application>

Solution 1

Go to add new items -> online templates and then choose 'Silverlight Application Class'.
This will add a new app.xaml for you.

Solution 3

Also don't forget to:
set Build Action to ApplicationDefinition
(in properties of the App.xaml)
