Edge Silverlight



Symptoms

When working with Microsoft Silverlight you may encounter the following scenarios:

Edge is a new browser. They didn't so much decide to remove Silverlight support as not include it in the first place. Amongst other aspects of this, SL relies on ActiveX technology and MS took the decision not to provide ActiveX capability in Edge. Display web pages using IE within Edge. Use Java, Silverlight, ActiveX, Sharepoint, and more. IE Tab exactly emulates IE by using the IE rendering engine directly within Edge. This will enable you to use ActiveX controls and test your web pages with different versions of IE (IE 7-11). Display web pages using IE within Edge.

After installing Windows 10 and then going to my website, that uses Silverlight, I find that Microsoft Edge does not support Silverlight. Has Microsoft killed Silverlight? Is there any way to run Silverlight in some add-in that will run in Edge? I have a lot of code invested in Silverlight. Is my only option to rewrite all of my apps?
