Extsharp write extjs code in C #

I really love ext but coding in Javascript just gives me the chills. so I went out and found a way to use my favorite JS Library (EXT) and my favorite programming language (C #) at the same time. by using a project called script # I am able to write C # code and have it converted into JavaScript, similar to GWT. building on that, script # also allows you to code against external APIs, but you need to create the types, methods, properties, etc. for everything in the Javascript library. so what I did was write a little console app that parses all of the extjs source files extracting out the script comments and Writing C # files for each class. the end result is a programmable C # API to access all of the ext objects and I threw in a couple new things to make life a little easier.

This forum post has somewhat of a history of how this project began: http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php? T = 12901

Update 4/22/08

We have changed ext # To now parse the newly released extjs 2.1 and we 've begun recreating some of the samples using ext #. The following samples have been completed:

• Grids
  • Basic array Grid
  • Editable Grid
  • XML Grid
  • Paging Grid
  • Grouping Grid
• Toolbars and menus
  • Basic Toolbar
  • EXT actions
• Miscellaneous
  • Data View (partial)
  • Progress bar
  • Templates
  • Panels
  • Resizable

A big thanks to consultutah for all of his help creating these samples. as well as to all of the ext community for their help and suggestions.
