Kendo as a replacement for silverlight

[Jeff]

Hello,
I currently use SL to enable realtime asynchronous communication between an asp.net application and a windows client .net application. Take a look at http://eneter.blogspot.com/2011/10/silverlight-notification-messages-from.html. With the end of SL looking more real every day e.g. IE10 Metro, I am wondering if I can effectively replace my simple SL interface with the Kendo framework? Below is an excerpt of my SL app. Any advice would be appreciated.

private void LoadFramework()

    {

        try

        {

            // SETUP SEND MESSAGE

            // Create sender of string messages.

            IStringMessagesFactory aStringMessageReceiverFactory = new StringMessagesFactory();

            myStringMessageSender = aStringMessageReceiverFactory.CreateStringMessageSender();

 

            // Create output channel sending via Tcp.

            // Note1: Silverlight supports only ports of range 4502 - 4532

            // Note: Set the timeout (miliseconds) for opening the connection and for sending messages.

            IMessagingSystemFactory aTcpMessagingFactory = new TcpMessagingSystemFactory(1000);

            IOutputChannel anOutputChannel = aTcpMessagingFactory.CreateOutputChannel("127.0.0.1:4502");

 

            // Attach the output channel to the string message sender

            // to be able to send messages via Tcp.

            myStringMessageSender.AttachOutputChannel(anOutputChannel);

 

 

            // SETUP RECEIVE MESSAGE

            // Create the BrokerClient to subscribe and receive notifications.

            IDuplexBrokerFactory aBrokerFactory = new DuplexBrokerFactory();

            myBrokerClient = aBrokerFactory.CreateBrokerClient();

 

            // Handle received notifications.

            myBrokerClient.BrokerMessageReceived += OnBrokerMessageReceived;

 

            // TCP messaging for the communication with the desktop application.

            IMessagingSystemFactory aTcpMessaging = new TcpMessagingSystemFactory(1000);

 

            // Create the TCP output channel and attach it to the BrokerClient.

            IDuplexOutputChannel aTcpOutputChannel = aTcpMessaging.CreateDuplexOutputChannel("tcp://127.0.0.1:4510");

            myBrokerClient.AttachDuplexOutputChannel(aTcpOutputChannel);

            blChannelLoaded = true;

        }

        catch (Exception ex)

        {

            blChannelLoaded = false;

            var x = ex;

            //RadWindow.Alert("Please load app1");

            HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("TestSLCall", "Please Load SkypeLink");

        }

    }

Then Kendo have to do a lot in work.



Nearly none of the Samples work in IE 10.



Kendo is WebKit based focused.



Welcome in the new HTML 5 world

What I am asking is Kendo an effective SL replacement for my purposes?
