More and more Web applications are requiring increased user interaction and as a result more JavaScript is being used and therefore needing to be maintained.

Many of the productivity features such as code completion, syntax verification and refactoring are not available when coding in JavaScript which makes maintaining code time consuming and complex.

SharpKit lets Web development teams leverage C# productivity for JavaScript development by creating JavaScript from C# code.

SharpKit was designed so that it:

• Does not change native JS syntax
• Does not change JS file structure
• Does not require additional JS files
• Allows reverting back to native JavaScript at any time

First a C# to JavaScript cross-compiler was created by parsing the HTML and JavaScript documentation and specifications into a .NET assembly which exposed the native browser object model and JavaScript API within C#. This was then checked to see which browsers supported which APIs enabling cross browser support which can be verified during compilation. SharpKit was then packaged as an MSBuild step to allow intuitive usage from within Visual Studio.

By adding a single line of code to any existing CSPROJ file, developers can start building C# classes that are converted into JavaScript files during compilation.

Integrating SharpKit with Visual Studio means that multiple developers can work on the same project without worrying about breaking another team member’s code.

SharpKit provides the following C# productivity features, for JavaScript development:

• Code coloring and outlining
• Code completion
• Code navigation
• XML documentation
• Browser compatibility warnings
• Compile-time syntax verification
• Code metrics and analysis

SharpKit Features List
