You could try this::-

 HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(HtmlPage.Document.DocumentUri);

@Travis: That might be related to caching so modifying the cache headers sent by the server might help. – AnthonyWJones May 06 '11 at 19:42

Yes. You can use the NavigationService.Refresh method to reload the page.

Does this really reload the browser page? Doesn't sound like it does from the documented link. – AnthonyWJones Apr 30 '10 at 13:02

In the html or aspx page hosting your silverlight xap file write this function in javascript

function refreshPage() {
   window.location.href = window.location.href + "?updated";
}

From inside your silverlight app, write the below piece of code to refresh the app without giving the user and impression that the page refreshed (considering the xap file is cached and it refreshes right away)

HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("refreshPage");
