Convert Silverlight Application to WPF

I need to convert a Silverlight application to WPF (in order to finally launch it on Microsoft Surface 1.0).

I did not write an original solution, and it is quite large. I have never worked with Silverlight, and I'm just a little familiar with WPF.

Can you offer some tips for completing this project?

Here is my current plan (high level view):

  • Restore all Silverlight projects in WPF (User Control in Silverlight = WPF User Control Library?)
  • The links do not match, so I need to make some changes ... I think :)
  • We hope that all controls are compatible with WPF ...

Did I miss something big? Something is wrong? Incomplete?

I am open to all your suggestions and advice!

Any development tips?

"User control in Silverlight = WPF User Control Library?" Not really. What version of silverlight are you using? The most difficult problem that I encountered when porting WPF to Silverlight was with converters. Silverlight 4.0 or lower does not support RelativeSource Ancestor binding. But supported in Silverlight 5!
