“Userware was able to provide us with a solution that didn’t need to be completely re-written because they were replacing Silverlight with a new, open-source framework, and keeping all of our existing code as is. With this solution, we’re also able to maintain all the investments we’ve made in training the teams that work on the product to use this technology.
Our experience with Userware has been great! They are professionals who really know their product and C# and .NET more generally. They have been able to help us identify and understand ways to apply the OpenSilver solution that meet specific requirements like accessibility, and have worked relentlessly to make OpenSilver treat our code in exactly the same way Silverlight does.”

LiveData Real-Time Surgery Tracking (Healthcare)
LiveData is a healthcare IT company that focuses on improving surgical workflows to make surgeries safer and more efficient in hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs).
LiveData software is installed at over 60 hospitals. 525 operating rooms have performed over 1 million surgeries using it.
“Userware took our performance requirements seriously, and achieved them. As a result, we have a working HTML5 version of our original Silverlight app, maintainable from the same source code base. Throughout the engagement, the professionals at Userware were attentive and responsive to our feedback. I can’t remember when I’ve had such a productive relationship with an outside development shop. The main benefit for us was continuity with our existing app’s source code base.
This freed up staff to focus on moving other apps forward. We can take on writing a new version of the existing app on a timeline determined by us, not by the sunsetting of Silverlight. This saved us both time and money. And as a bonus, it was a true pleasure working with the Userware team.“

Original (Silverlight)
Migrated to OpenSilver
OpenSilver is a replacement for Silverlight and WPF that provides a fast and cost effective path for migration, without compromising the look or functionality. Resulting apps run on all modern browsers without the need to install a plug-in.
The migration works by replacing the Silverlight or WPF development tools with the OpenSilver tools (download here). You keep coding in C# and XAML like you did before the migration, thus leveraging the extensive documentation, tutorials, and samples that were made for Silverlight and WPF. You can implement or work around missing features by importing equivalent .NET Standard or JavaScript libraries.
Since OpenSilver is fully open-source (source here), based on industry standards (WebAssembly, HTML), and compatible with .NET Standard and JavaScript, it is a durable solution that lets you be self-sufficient and independent for many years to come.
Userware – the company behind OpenSilver – is available to provide professional support and to assist you through your migration, ensuring that all the features of your original Silverlight or WPF application work great under OpenSilver.
Contact us at [email protected] to see more examples of migrated applications or to discuss your projects.
You may also submit your XAP to quickly receive a quote to get your app migrated by us from beginning to end.
For do-it-yourself migrations, be sure to ask about a Silverlight Migration Support Plan, which contains everything you need to quickly get up and running, including support and assistance from our core team.
