The XAML/C# stack is called many different things within windows. Silverlight and WPF are just two names for it. Keep in mind though that even things that are branded silverlight (desktop/web apps and wp7 apps) aren't even the same thing. The WP7 API differs heavily from the desktop API. The XAML/C# stack for metro apps is also just a very small subset of the silverlight stack.

Silverlight may very well be going away, but XAML/C# isn't. The only thing that's most likely disappearing is the push for it to be on the web and the name "silverlight" itself.
