Hey

I'm new to using Script#. Can you provide a simple start up guide to a sample project say, "FishTank".

I think @nikhilk has been busy, but the plan has been to create docs. I have a basic getting started with the development branch here: https://github.com/theoutlander/scriptsharp/wiki/Using-the-development-branch. If you have specific quesitons, I can try to write something up in my repo.

@edjohn1987 - Did you get a chance to play with S#?

[edjohn1987]

Yes, but not to the extent of a fully fledge application. I have compiled some codes into JavaScript where currently, I am taking the compiled codes and implementing in another seperate project.

What I want is to be able to work with the compiled codes within the same project. Right now I am having trouble setting/troubleshooting the errors to rectify all the references/dependencies.

Thanks for the update. I can try to work on a quick start this weekend if I get a chance. What would you like to see specifically?

A simple web application project with:

C#:

• initialiser
• event handler
• printer

html:

• 1 Textfield
• 1 Button
• An output like: Hi John. The time now is XX:XX:XX.

The idea here is to combine both the .cs compilation with web page under 1 (roof) project. The current HTML5 project compiles a class.cs into class.js. A secondary project must be created as output type to utilise the .js file. It is this secondary project that I am having difficulties setting the configs.

May I also know what Visual Studio version and build did you use to create this project.

A comment about solution/project structure...

A script# project is a c# class library project, so it doesn't have a "Run" semantic, which would be the pre-requisite to doing things like hosting both c# source to compile to script, and the container html page to include the script into to be able to execute within a browser (or if you're in the nodejs world, execute node with). The way to have enabled that would have been to write a custom project flavor with a fair bit of VS extensibility work to add this semantic.

Alternatively there might be an argument to have the c# to compile to script nested somewhere within a web project. That would have required some notion of nested projects, which VS has never fully supported, as far as I know.

Net result - you create two projects for the html. You can of course do tricks like include html in your script library project and mark it as content, so it gets copied over to the bin directory. You can then either load the html file into the browser, or run a local web server rooted at the bin directory independently of script#, and the project system.

So to simplify the all-in VS scenario, simply create the script# project and the web project in the solution and add a reference to the script# project within the web project. You'll need to add the ScriptSharp.Runtime nuget package to your web project - this adds msbuild steps to copy generated javascript into the web project from the script# project at build time.

I'll try to get something written up and coordinate with @theoutlander (target during the upcoming thanksgiving break).

@edjohn1987 - @nikhilk addressed your issue regarding two projects above. As for tutorials, I'm starting to work on something and will try to address areas you're interested in. Here's a first pass with a Hello World application.

You can use VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 including Express versions.
