I appreciate that Jscript.net can be used in ASP.net and indeed, the .net version of jscript looks to provide the same kind of functionaility as that found in other .net languages.

Could anyone confirm that this is the case and that one could use Jscript.net to create .Net, non-ASP.net based applications too; eg., Windows forms/desktop apps like you could in say VB.net or C#.

I can't see any reason why you can't. It strikes me that from a VFP perspective, given that a lot of VFP developers use Javascript for Web design, after considering what I have read about jscript.net, its new strong typing and other improvements (like inheritance based subclassing as well as prototype based subclassing) would allow you to use this as a regular .Net language with as much capability as the others but using a language that syntactically is very close to what we already use on a Web page.

Any comments much appreciated.
