Take a look at: http://code.google.com/p/silverlight-selenium/

and

Silverlight testing: Watin vs Selenium comparison

Also bear in mind that Silverlight's future looks uncertain:

http://www.hightechnewstoday.com/apr-2011-high-tech-news-archives/74-apr-13-2011-high-tech-news.shtml and http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/11/09/microosft.may.axe.silverlight.after.major.release/

etc. etc.

So you may prefer to consider HTML5 for future projects after completing your current Silverlight project, as HTML5 has a brighter future because of its cross browser support and efficiency compared with proprietary technologies like Flash and Silverlight.
