My Silverlight 4 app does not run Page_Load

I have written a Silverlight 4 app. I tried to load initParams to pass to the out-of-browser app. Page_Load is never run.

My aspx file includes the following:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="PackageInTestPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="PackageIn.Web.PackageInTestPage" %>
…
<body>
    <form id="form1"  runat="server" style="height:100%">
    <div id="silverlightControlHost">
        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
…
          <param name="initParams" value="<% =WebDotConfig%>" /></div>

My codebehind file, PackageInTestPage.aspx.cs looks like this:

C#

namespace PackageIn.Web
{
    public partial class PackageInTestPage : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        public string WebDotConfig { get; set; }
        //This code does not appear to run
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            WebDotConfig = ""
            <code to="" fill="" in="" webdotconfig="">
            ...
</code>

I also tried adding the following code to the .aspx file with no luck:

XML

<script type="text/C#" language="c#" >
    public string WebDotConfig { get; set; }
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        WebDotConfig  = "PackageWeight1=" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PackageWeight1"];
        WebDotConfig += ",TicketCount1=" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TicketCount1"];
        WebDotConfig += ",MaxTicketsPerPackage=" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["MaxTicketsPerPackage"];
    }

The app will run but the initParams is always blank.
I tried inserting "throw new exception("xxx");" into the first line of Page_Load and it made no difference so I don't think the Page_Load was run. In the debugger, the breakpoint displays with the "!" saying the breakpoint will never be reached.
It is the same whether I run out-of-browser or not. If I set my PackageIn.Web project as the start up project, THEN the Page_Load will run.

I have tried a few variations in the codebehind= and inherits= values but that has not helped.

I have read multiple posts describing how to set initParams in Silverlight and I think I am following all the instructions.

If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong or how to track down the problem, I would really appreciate it.

This works now. I think the problem was I was using initParams (lcase i) on server and InitParams (ucase I) on client. It appeared to be not running because I needed to set PackageIn.Web as start up project.
