I have Asp.net application where I am using Silverlight to show disgrams. Now only problem is Silverlight works on IE but I want to run that in Chrome. Here is code

<asp:Silverlight ID="Silverlight1" runat="server" MinimumVersion="2.0.30523"  
 Source="~/SilverlightHTDiagram.xap"  Height="430px" Width="500px" 
 PluginBackground="White" > 
  </asp:Silverlight>

Sadly, there is no easy way of doing this. If I were in your shoes, I would basically look for some good diagram libraries made for HTML5/JavaScript, and start to use those, which is in essence redoing all of the diagrams in a different language.

There are some blog posts on this on the internet, i.e. this one, but in all, Silverlight is dead as a browser plugin, it will not be supported by Microsoft, and will not work in any modern browsers, so HTML5/JavaScript is the way to stay future-proof.

Alternatively, you could re-use the XAML in your silverlight app to adopt it into a UWP app, or WPF if you prefer, however, in these days with people running various OS'es, that is probably not what you're after.
