<h2>Visual Studio language extensibility</h2> Does anybody know whether there's an open source (or paid) project that extends Visual Studio with managed Javascript as a server side .net language so it gets compiled to IL and executed as an everyday .net application? We got used to dynamic nature of Javascript and since C# 4.0 also supports <code>dynamic</code> I don't see any particular reason why Javascript couldn't be used as a server side .net language in Visual Studio. I'm sure many would be very happy to use it. Although it could get confusing in Asp.net applications because of the same language on both ends. But that could be resolved with file extensions by file extensions. Server-side files shouldn't use the *.js extension (Client-side JavaScript), but rather something like .ssjs (Server-side JavaScript). It would actually make this like a node.js application but with less lines of code and full .net functionality at hand. Wouldn't that be great? <h2>What can be found on the internet</h2> <ul> <li>Managed JScript - this seems to be exactly what I am after, but several sources say it's a dead project; since it was an experiment on the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime);</li> <li>MyJScript - just a tutorial of how to write a DLR compiler, conicidentally using Javascript/JScript as a language</li> <li>JScript.NET - this is not entirely like Javascript (it extends original syntax which I think is bad) and it also <a href="http://forums.asp.net/t/1521347.aspx/1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">seems to be a long dead project</a> anyway (as per <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/8952640/75642">@grapeot</a>).</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
