Our Company
In 2014, Userware launched CSHTML5 later renamed to OpenSilver, a modern open-source reimplementation of Microsoft Silverlight that has since been continuously enhanced by a dedicated team and an active community of contributors for over 8 years.
Userware recognizes the significance of migration and offers professional services to help users smoothly transition their legacy Silverlight applications to OpenSilver. This migration is crucial in preserving the longevity of applications and Userware’s expertise in this area is unmatched.
We aim to build products on top of OpenSilver that will help .NET developers to continue to leverage their know-how and skills for some great Microsoft Technologies, in the new and modern tech contexts.
One of those products is XAML for Blazor.

Our Vision and Mission
At Userware, we aim to empower .NET developers to build impactful, world-changing products. With OpenSilver, we aim to reignite Silverlight's original potential as an unparalleled solution for line-of-business development. OpenSilver gives a platform on top of which everybody including us, of course, can build products that will provide a possibility for .NET developers to continue to leverage their know-how about outstanding MS technologies in some new contexts. The "XAML for Blazor" product that we developed allows developers to mix and match Razor and XAML files in Blazor WebAssembly projects. XAML for Blazor benefits Blazor developers who have more experience in XAML than HTML/CSS or who are migrating XAML-based applications to the web.
