OpenSilver is a replacement for Silverlight 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 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. 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 application work great under OpenSilver.
Contact us at migrations@opensilver.net 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.
