I have not much experience with silverlight but would like to know whether I6 works with silverlight 4. According to the compatibility matrix here it does. Can you experts please confirm this? Thanks!

In my experience IE6 should work fine with silverlight 4.

Im developing a Desktop app with WFP, but I've to migrate it to UWP Windows 10. Does anybody knows what this conversion involves? How complex is it?
Thank you in advance for the help :)
XAML for WPF and WINRT is not same because lot of classes which exist for WPF are missing in WINRT library. So the porting may have lots of work to do.

If you are going to convert it from WPF to UWP be sure to keep an eye out for the next few things:
ASync calls
a framework with less options but same possibilities
depends on your code and programme, but if you are experienced it might only take a few hours :)
.NET in WinRT is a lot more limited than the one in WPF.
So the level of difficulty of porting directly depends to your app's functionality.
Does Silverlight work with IE 6, are there any gotchas?
Just wondering if this is an alternative for customers stuck with IE 6.
I have worked on sites that run on IE6 and we were able to work well in Silverlight. As Silverlight is a Plugin, it doesn't matter what they underlying browser is, as long as it is the once supported by Silverlight team. We didnt come across any issues, we had worked on data driven app.
For client OSs the answer is yes
More detail on wikipedia about compatible OSs and browsers
I want to write silverlight application for iPad device. Is that possible? i have searched on google but not getting exactly. Need proper guidance on it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
No, it's not possible - at all. Apple would need to make a decision to allow it to happen, but they have not. Before they would do that, it's likely they would consider Flash on iPad first and that has not been allowed either. That's the reason you haven't found anything on it.
Not possible without a jailbroken iPad with a silverlight application installed, which I don't think exists as of yet.
There is no official support for Silverlight on iOS as of Mar 6, 2008. As of Feb 16th 2011, nothing seems to have changed. Check this link.
If I wanted to create some Silverlight widgets and host them within WPF is this possible?
I've searched for examples & found a few concepts online but no approaches that actually panned out / work / and a bunch of dead links.
Has anyone successfully done this or any ideas for how to do this? Any help is appreciated.
You can try my SilverlightViewport project. It allows for rendering Silverlight programs in WPF. Should support all versions of SL.
The brute approach would be using the WebBrowserControl. Other than that, I don't know. Maybe you could unzip the .XAP file and try to load the XAMLs and Assemblies you would find. ;-)
What features specific to Silverlight do you use in those widgets? Is there a real problem with making them work in both Silverlight and WPF and compiling 2 versions?
I've got a client with pretty old boxes which want to be sure our still-to-be-coded Silverlight-based solution will work on windows 2000 / IE6
Anyone with experience on this scheme?
Thanks
Yes .. you are okay.
