Confused about windows gadget

I have developed a Windows desktop gadget using Silverlight (MVVM pattern) and WCF.

I want to know whether it will work on Windows 8, since there is no option as sidebar in Windows 8.

If possible please tell what should I do to make it compatible with both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Answer: 2

You can try to reuse some parts of your code to make a Windows 8 'immersive app' with a Live Tile. The C#/XAML stack in Windows 8 is quite similar to Silverlight (but not the same). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465136.aspx for a guide about the differences.
