opensilver's Introduction

This repository contains the source code of the 2 following products, which share most of their code:

OpenSilver (www.opensilver.net) → It compiles C#/XAML/.NET to WebAssembly/HTML/CSS (Free, Open Source, MIT Licensed)
CSHTML5 (www.cshtml5.com) → It compiles C#/XAML/.NET to JavaScript/HTML/CSS (Dual Licensed)

The main branches are:

develop: this branch is where day to day development occurs
master: this branch corresponds to the version of the packages that are on Nuget.org

How to download the software and get started?

Read the "Getting Started" page of the OpenSilver documentation for a step-by-step tutorial.

Basically, you should download the .VSIX file (the extension for Microsoft Visual Studio) which installs the Project Templates:

The .VSIX for OpenSilver can be downloaded from: https://opensilver.net/download.aspx (Free, Open Source, MIT Licensed)
The .VSIX for CSHTML5 can be downloaded from: http://cshtml5.com/download.aspx (Dual Licensed)

Then, launch Visual Studio, click "Create a new project", and choose one of the installed templates.

After creating the project, you may then want to update the NuGet package to reference the very latest version (note: in the NuGet Package Manager, be sure to check the option "include pre-releases", otherwise you may not see the latest package version).

How to build the source code in this repository?

Update Visual Studio: Make sure you are using the very latest version of Visual Studio. To check for updates, please launch the Visual Studio Installer from your Start Menu.
Clone the repo: Clone this repository locally or download it as a ZIP archive and extract it on your machine.
Run the restoration .BAT: Execute the .BAT file "restore-packages-opensilver.bat" located at the root of this repository.
Update the OpenSilver compiler assemblies: OpenSilver has a dependency on an older version of OpenSilver to convert xaml files to C#, which is retrieved by the restore batch file (from Step No. 3.). Due to continous updates, this restored version can sometimes have outdated OpenSilver compiler assemblies which might cause unexpected compilation or runtime errors. To fix this, run the "update-compiler.bat" script located in the "build" folder.
Delete bin/obj: Make sure to remove the "bin" and "obj" folders, if any. They can cause issues when building using the ".bat" files.
Launch the Developer Command Prompt: Open the "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022" (or whatever is the latest version of Visual Studio) from your Start Menu and navigate to the "build" folder of this repository.
Run the compilation .BAT: Launch the file "build-nuget-package-OpenSilver.bat" located inside the "build" folder of this repository, and enter today's date or any other unique identifier to use for the version number (eg. 2023-10-18).
Use the newly built packages: The previous command will create new NuGet packages inside the "build/output/OpenSilver" folder. You can now reference those packages from any OpenSilver application project (here is how) (Note: you may need to check the options "Include prerelease" in the "Manage NuGet Packages" window in order to see the newly created NuGet packages). For example, to use them on a new "Hello World" OpenSilver application, make sure you have the VSIX installed (see the top of this document), then launch Visual Studio, click "Create a new project" -> "OpenSilver application", and replace the default NuGet package references with the new packages that you have built.

For convenience, instead of re-building the whole packages every time that you make a change to the OpenSilver code, you can build only the OpenSilver Runtime DLL.

To reduce the development inner loop time, you can also add a "Post Build" action to the OpenSilver Runtime project that will automatically copy the Runtime DLL from the "bin" folder into the OpenSilver NuGet package folder at "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME.nuget\packages\opensilver\ENTER_LATEST_VERSION_HERE\lib\netstandard2.0"

Note: while rarely needed, there is also a .BAT file for building the Simulator package.

What if I get a compilation error with the code in this repository?

If you get a compilation error, it may be that a Visual Studio workload needs to be installed. To find out, please open the solution "OpenSilver.sln" and attempt to compile it with the latest version of the Visual Studio IDE.

If you are compiling using the Command Prompt, please double-check that you are using the "Developer Command Prompt" instead of the standard Command Prompt, and that the current directory is set to the "build" directory of this repository, because some paths in the .BAT files may be relative to the current directory.

If you still encounter any issues, please contact the OpenSilver team at: https://opensilver.net/contact.aspx

VSIX for OpenSilver

If you're looking to build the VSIX extension for OpenSilver, instructions and the necessary source code are available in our dedicated repository - OpenSilver.VSIX.

.NET Core support

I would be interested in helping in this area and I don't see any public discussion about this.

I tried to compile the initial project with dotnet core on WSL and the simulator doesn't compile. After removing it, there is a problem with "DotNetForHtml5.Compiler.TypeScriptDefToCSharp" from the OpenSilver nuGet package.

What would be the bigger issue for this project to be a fully .NET Core project?

JsonConvert.SerializeObject different behaviour (CSHTML5 v2)

Hi,

The original Newtonsoft Json lib serialize public properties with no get/set accessors.
CSHTML5 version doesn't do it and only serialize get/set properties.

Can I change this behavior doing a pull request or do you think this is a major break in functionnality and you won't accept it?

Cannot apply Styles to ComboBoxes

Although individual properties can be set in XAML markup, using a Style declaration in a Resource Dictionary and then trying to apply it to a ComboBox seems to have no effect. I have so far tried aspects such as Font (Size, Weight etc), Color (Foreground, Background etc) and layout (Margin, Alignment etc) properties - none of which work.

You don't have a GPLv3 license (Solved: it's now MIT license)

You shouldn't claim that this is an open source project and especially not a GPL project when your requirements are a direct violation of GPL. By adding restrictions you actually are not open source but rather have a proprietary non-commercial license and a commercial license.

To quote praetor- in the Reddit announcement:

FYI, your NOT allowed to bullets don't agree with the GPLv3 license, which strictly forbids placing additional constraints on the software. As is, your license is neither GPLv3 nor free.

To be specific, you may use GPLv3 licensed code in proprietary or closed-source projects so long as the source is made available to those to which you distribute the software, so any software used internally to the company which produced it is in compliance provided the software isn't used by non-employees. Source. If this is your intent (which is fine!) you'll have to change your license to a proprietary (and non-free) license, such as "The CSHTML5 License".

Next, the clause prohibiting licensees to Mix this code with non-GPL-licensed code (such as MIT-licensed code), or distribute it under a different license should be reworded to state that the code can't be "incorporated into" non-GPL-licensed code in such a way that results in a non-GPL-licensed work. So, you can't add CSHTML to an MIT licensed project and retain the MIT license; the project must be licensed under GPLv3 if it is to include CSHTML. This is a slight difference, but the original wording suggests that the incompatibility is a strict constraint, which is misleading.

Besides what was said above about your restrictions not being allowed in GPL code, there is also no reason to forbid mixing code licensed in other ways. The way GPL works, if you add some MIT or BSD code to a GPLv3 project, it does not stop being GPL. If that was the case, it would be extremely difficult to work because most GPL projects reply on all sorts of projects that are under other open source licenses. Those licenses don't change GPL because they are all compatible. However, because you are adding restrictions on use that make this project not really GPLv3, it would actually violate the licenses of OTHER projects if you incorporate the code here.

Make VSIX compatible with Visual Studio 2017

The current release of the VSIX (version 1.0.0-alpha-002) is incompatible with Visual Studio 2017. Many developers still use Visual Studio 2017 both for work and for personal projects. Please make the VSIX compatible with Visual Studio 2017 so that developers that have Visual Studio 2017 can make use of it.
