In Addition to ctacke's answer. Not all Windows CE devices have to have any specific component and that includes Silverlight for Embedded Devices.
To check whether your device includes Silverlight For Embedded devices, you can check whether your \Windows folder contains the xamlruntime.dll file. If it does not contain the file, then your OEM did not include Silverlight in the image.

If you want to check out a simple Silverlight for Embedded devices application you can download the code from the following tutorial: Silverlight for Embedded Tutorial

THe issue you're seeing is that while it's called "Silverlight", Silverlight for Windows Embedded really isn't what most developers who know Silverlight would call Silverlight (in fact I wish they'd rename it).

While it does use XAML and that XAML can be created using Blend, the code itself has to be written in heavily templated C++. You can't take a compiled Silverlight binary from anything other platform and use it under CE.
