AlterNET Studio was built with the goal to provide .NET developers with the tools to extend Windows Forms or WPF applications with Code Editing, Scripting and UI designing capabilities.

It provides a set of component libraries that enables users of developer's applications to write scripts in C#, Visual Basic, TypeScript, JavaScript and Python programming languages to extend the application with custom functionality; run and debug these scripts with a fully-featured debugging engine and design visual user interfaces with graphical Form Designer.

AlterNET Studio includes the following component libraries which can be installed all together or separately:

• Code Editor brings efficient code editing functionality into your WinForms and WPF .NET applications. It provides code editing capabilities such as syntax highlighting, code completion and code outlining, visual indicators for bookmarks, line styles, syntax errors and much more, matching the speed and convenience of the Microsoft Visual Studio/Visual Studio Code text editor.
• Scripter allows to integrate C#, Visual Basic, TypeScript, JavaScript and IronPython scripts into your WinForms and WPF .NET desktop applications. It allows extending the application logic by implementing custom functionality or automating custom tasks without recompiling and redeploying the application.
• Form Designer provides a quick and convenient way for creating visual user interfaces. It allows placing controls to the design surfaces, setting their initial properties and writing event handlers for their events.
