Upcoming Script# Release and LIDNUG presentation

A quick heads up on a Script# presentation for the Linked.NET user group on LinkedIn, and some words (ummm... teasers) on the upcoming script# release...

Just a quick blog post on a couple of things related to Script#...

Script#I've been working on a number of things for the upcoming release (v0.6) of Script#, and hope to have it publicly available soon. Most of the core work is complete, but I do need to do a massive update to documentation/how-to/tutorial/readme content. Some of the highlights of this release will be:

  • jQuery support - ability to write code against jQuery core, and to write basic plugins. This release will contain just some initial support, as I look at more increasing ways to build on the foundation provided by jQuery.
  • Unit testing support - ability to use VS2010 test projects along with QUnit (unit test framework used in jQuery)
  • Other features - some of the key ones are support for a script loader, VS2010 support, support for latest ASP.NET Ajax APIs.
The first two items are amongst the top 5 requests I've heard, so hopefully they will make for an interesting release.


Secondly, I will be doing a presentation including some demos of this upcoming functionality. The format of the presentation is somewhat open-ended, so hopefully there will be some time for Q&A. This is tomorrow (May 5th, 11am PDT), for the LIDNUG folks (Linked.NET user group on LinkedIn). More information is on the event page if you're interested in joining.


Finally, Script# is on twitter (@scriptsharp), as am I (@nikhilk). Please follow to keep up on more frequent announcements/updates.

I would recommend using a class library project and deploying the resulting script into your web application. This will become a bit cleaner in the next release, and will be the preferred model for now, instead of the scriptlet with Edit C# code in a dialog approach.

I'm glad to hear you're working on the documentation. I think it will be helpful in growing the number of people who can successfully get started with Script# (myself included!). I certainly appreciate the huge amount of effort this project has taken.

Hi,

I know 0.6 is still a preview, but I'm missing Enum.ToString(type, index) already! Is there now another way to do this? I have to write (string)Script.Literal("type.toString(index)") to get what I want...

Great work, by the way. Thanks!
