How to migrate from ASP.NET to Silverlight?

I currently have a C# ASP.NET web forms web application that is maybe 2% Silverlight (4 or 5 xaml views). Our team has decided that for the next version we need to use Silverlight more for video streaming as well as CRUD operations. We have a Silverlight project and a single xap file to compliment the ASP.NET site. I would like to start using Silverlight for all new views and slowly convert existing aspx views over to Silverlight. The way we currently load the Silverlight views is by passing in a view name as a property like so:

 <div id="silverlightControlHost">
        <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," 
        type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
          <param name="source" value="ClientBin/Superuser.xap"/>
          <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
          <param name="background" value="white" />
          <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.50826.0" />
          <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
          <param name="initParams" value="startPage=AQ" />
          <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0.50826.0" 
              style="text-decoration:none">
              <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" 
              alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
          </a>
        </object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;
        height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe></div>

By using: <param name="initParams" value="startPage=AQ" /> (AQ.xaml) I can load any view I want. Is this a good strategy to use for migrating? What is a better way to do this?

Thanks!
