Migrating Silverlight application to HTML 5

Currently we have application in Silverlight which contains a dashboard. The dashboard was developed in Silverlight.
Now we want to migrate the Silverlight dashboard app to HTML 5.0 so that the app can run on iPhone, iPad & android phones.

How we can migrate Silverlight application to HTML 5?
Also, do we need to use any third party custom control for dashboards in HTML 5.0?

You need to convert you graphics from XAML to SVG. If you have the designs for this project, then you might want to take a look at Adobe Illustrator CS5 HTML5 Pack, which lets you "Save As SVG". You should keep everything vector based so it scales to iPhone, iPad and Android.

Then you need to transfer your UI behaviour to javascript. I suggest using KnockoutJS by Steve Sanderson. I would combine this with jQuery for ease of use.

As @Polynomial mentioned in his comment, there is no "convert to HTML" package per se, but with a little know-how you will be able to migrate.
