The temporary solution for compiling the project would be to add empty classes/methods in OpenSilver 'Empty Namespaces' folder and use that. It is possible that OpenSilver doesn't have required class or method implemented yet. (Read above to understand why we want to avoid breaking the original Silverlight application) The goes is to be able to quickly find all the places that have been modified, and also to make changes to the files without breaking the original Silverlight application.

Use compiler directives to not break the original Silverlight application In C# files:Įvery time that we need to make a change to the C# code, we are going to use the #if OPENSILVER and #if !OPENSILVER compiler directives to distinguish between the original code and the migrated one. Visit the ' Troubleshooting' page for known issues and tips. It is a good practice to check the original Silverlight project and see if the build configurations are consistent with the OpenSilver project. As a result a lot of confusing errors might be encountered during compilation. Some large projects might have different build configurations with many compiler directives. So the above steps need to be followed both for Generic.xaml and for all other. Please note that if the project includes Generic.xaml file for default styles, then most probably no errors will be encountered during compilation but some screens will not be shown as expected at the end. xaml file, go to its properties (F4), and in the advanced section choose: Build Action: Content xaml files (which Silverlight application usually does). Many different compilation errors related to UI controls can occur if the project consists of. This guide provides tips and guidance to fix those compilation errors.

Some compilation errors are expected, because OpenSilver currently supports a (fairly large) subset of Silverlight functionality, so manual work should be expected. You can find more detailed instructions in this example. csproj files to according Silverlight project locations This needs to be done in order to not broke 'xmlns' references in XAML files.Ĭopy all. In Solution Explorer, right-click on project -> Properties

Rename solution and all Silverlight related projects adding. Now we have the same directory structure as original Silverlight application has. If the project type is a Silverlight Class Library then OpenSilver Class Library needs to be created. csproj files the following steps can be taken.Ĭreate an OpenSilver application with the same name as Silverlight application has but in different locationĪdd all other Silverlight-type projects the solution has using according names. This also makes it easier to merge code changes in case that new developments or bug fixes are made on the original Silverlight application while we are still migrating it. In practice however, we do not want to copy/paste the files but rather share them between the original application and the migrated application, so that both applications can be maintained, at least in the short term. The general principle for migrating a Silverlight application to OpenSilver consists of creating an OpenSilver-type project for each of the original Silverlight projects, then copying / pasting all the files from the original projects to the OpenSilver projects, and finally compiling the solution.

At this stage you do not need to be able to run the Silverlight application on your local developer machine yet, but this will be useful at a later stage.

To see connection string check db properties.

Enter Server name then select database and click OK.

Right click on Data Connections -> Add Connection.

If the Silverlight application has database connections make sure that the connection strings are correct.

Silverlight download file from server install#

Refer to the ' Environment Setup' page for the list of software that you may need to install to get the Silverlight application to compile. All the Silverlight projects should be loading and compiling properly, and all the referenced libraries should be properly resolved.

Make sure that the legacy Silverlight application fully compiles on your developer machine.

Make sure that you have the full source code of the legacy Silverlight application tthat you wish to migrate to OpenSilver.

Follow the steps described on the ' Environment Setup' page.

Alternatively, you can have your application migrated by Userware - the company behind OpenSilver - in a fast and cost-effective way, so that your resources are free to work on other tasks. Note: this section assumes that you would like to do the migration on your own.
