Wpf – Convert Silverlight App to WPF

silverlightwpf

I need to convert a Silverlight App to WPF (to finally run it on Microsoft Surface 1.0).

I didn't write the original solution and it is quite big. I've never worked with Silverlight and I'm just a little bit familiar with WPF.

Can you offer some advice on completing this project?

Here's my current plan (high level view):

  • Recreate all Silverlight projects in WPF (User Control in Silverlight = WPF User Control Library ?)
  • References are not the same so I'll need to make some changes … I think 🙂
  • Hope all controls are compatible with WPF …

Have I missed something big? Is something wrong? Incomplete?

I'm open to all your suggestions and advice!

Any development tips ?
