The release of the OpenSilver 2.0 project has been introduced, continuing the development of the Silverlight platform and allowing the creation of interactive web applications using C#, XAML, and .NET technologies. Applications compiled with OpenSilver can run in any desktop and mobile browser supporting WebAssembly, but compilation is currently only possible on Windows using the Visual Studio environment. The project's code is written in C# and distributed under the MIT license. <\/p>\n

In 2021, Microsoft ceased the development and support of the Silverlight platform in favor of standard web technologies. Initially, the OpenSilver project aimed to provide tools to extend the life of existing Silverlight applications in light of Microsoft's discontinuation of platform support and the end of plugin support in browsers. OpenSilver supports all the main features of the Silverlight engine, including full support for C# and XAML languages, as well as the implementation of much of the platform API, sufficient for using C# libraries such as Telerik UI, WCF RIA Services, PRISM, and MEF. <\/p>\n

In its current form, OpenSilver has already moved beyond a mere layer to extend the life of Silverlight and can be seen as a standalone platform for creating new applications. For example, the project is developing a development environment (add-in for Visual Studio), providing support for new versions of the C# language and the .NET platform, and offering compatibility with libraries in JavaScript. <\/p>\n

The basis of OpenSilver utilizes code from open projects Mono (mono-wasm) and Microsoft Blazor (part of ASP.NET Core), and for execution in the browser, applications are compiled into WebAssembly intermediate code. OpenSilver is evolving alongside the CSHTML5 project, which allows compiling C#\/XAML\/.NET applications into JavaScript representations suitable for browser execution, expanding its codebase with the capability to compile C#\/XAML\/.NET into WebAssembly instead of JavaScript. <\/p>\n
