You need to improve you googling capabilities...

And update your application to use modern technologies... When Silverlight was lauch it make sense as mose peoples use a few desktop browsers and HTML 5 was not yet the a well supported standard. Now the market has decide that HTML 5 is the standard, it does not make much sense for Microsoft to continue in their own path.

You obviously didn't try searching very hard - the first page of results from a Google search for "Silverlight Edge"[^] all tell you the same thing! :)
