I have inherited a legacy application and need to know if it is using Silverlight. Apart from uninstalling Silverlight, is there any way to look at the code and determine if it is a Silverlight application?
If it is a Silverlight application, I need to migrate it to WPF/XAML, Blazor, or HTML5.
The word "Silverlight" appears nowhere in the code - but I understand that this is completely possible.
For example, are there namespaces and XAML components completely unique to Silverlight applications?

You can go to topic XAML Processing Differences Between Silverlight Versions and WPF to know differences between Silverlight XAML and WPF XAML. If you are using Silverlight 3 XAML, you also need to refer to XAML Processing Differences Between Silverlight Versions. As far as I know, Deep Zoom is unique to Sliverlight. By a way, this reply may give you some help for converting.
silverlight is not supported in Visual studio 2019 so if you can open the project in visual studio it is not silverlight. You could also open the csproj file with notepad and look for the project type guid. For silverlight it is Silverlight {A1591282-1198-4647-A2B1-27E5FF5F6F3B}
You can find a list of the project types here
