Hi everyone,

We have a project that was developed on silverlight+wpf with MVVM manner. However, we want to move this project into ASP.NET and MVC due to some reasons. Our researches shows that the migration is possible but, there is no explanations.

Additional Info: Project is a CRM project.

Thanks for everyone.

Emre.

I don't believe there can be efficient automated migration in this direction. Here is why: Silverlight in enormously powerful when compared to ASP.NET, which is strongly constrained by draconian limitation of HTTP (stateless!) and HTML standards. That said, you are going to functionally downgrade your platform quite badly. Many things easy in Silverlight will be totally inapplicable to ASP.NET.

I hope, MVVM helped you to isolate UI from other aspects of functionality well. This is the only benefit you can use. You would have to reuse only parts of your code irrelevant to UI, and rewrite all the UI from scratch. Your existing Silverlight UI can be only used for reference purposes, as a document. Sad but true.
