2021 is too far..Even if you develop in HTML 5, I guess HTML 5 will not be there in 2021....Just think of the next five years

Turns out 2021 is quite a ways off. VB6 has been unsupported for a decade, and people still use it ( sadly ). Silverlight will probably always work. Having a WPF code base means a move to silverlight probably makes sense. Will your product still be in use in 8 years ? You should consider the lifecycle of your product and if you're likely to keep adding to it, before deciding what direction you go in, but I don't think Silverlight should be discounted as an option.
