This was interesting, because in order to implement - some of its features, Patrik had to go into the runtime/JIT engine and - he spent a few weeks doing work there. - - Duncan got our System.Web assembly to compile. - -** HttpRuntime - - Patrik has authored most of the HttpRuntime support (both on - the System.Web and on the foundation) but it is still not - ready to run. - -** XSP - - Currently XSP provides the .aspx compiler to C#. It would be - interesting to see if it makes sense to extend the ASP.NET - syntax to make it simpler to develop applications. - - Gonzalo is in charge of the compiler. - -** Controls - - A lot of work has been put in the various classes that - implement the controls (UI.HtmlControls and UI.WebControls), - but they have been coded mostly in the dark, and without being - able to test them in real life: Gaurav and Leen worked very - hard on this namespace, but needs to be finished. - - We can now render all HtmlControls and some WebControls. Work is - ongoing to make all WebControls render HTML. - -** Extending ASP.NET - - Currently you have to reference in your ASP.NET the control - and all of its properties, which works fine if you have a GUI - designer, but is harder for people used to develop using text - editors. - - Since we have a parser, we could extend this parser to allow - people to still use ASP.NET controls, using a simpler syntax. - For example people doing blogs and editing their templates - over the web probably do not want to use direct ASP.NET but a - wrapper around it. - -** Roadmap - - 1. The Parser. - - 2. Get the parser to generate output compatible with ASP.NET. - - 3. Run the sample output with the real Microsoft runtime - but using our generated page. - - 4. Run the sample with our classes with the .NET runtime. - <b>We are here</b>. - - 5. Finish HttpRuntime. - - 6. Running our sample code with our classes with our runtime. - -** How to Help - - Currently we are testing and fixing HtmlControls, WebControls and - validators. - - In the CVS module XSP you can find the aspx to C# page parser, - a little web server used for testing and a directory containing - sample aspx pages. - - You have some documentation under doc directory and in the README - file of each directory. They explain how to test our System.Web. - Testing is really easy! - |
