This allows developers to build Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) that run inside any modern web browser without plugins. Important Note: The original "CSHTML5" project has evolved. Its modern, actively maintained successor is called OpenSilver (open-source, MIT license). The legacy CSHTML5 is no longer updated, but the concepts remain identical. Key Analogy: Think of it as "XAML for the Web" – like a reverse Blazor (C# to JS instead of WebAssembly). 2. How Does It Work? Instead of rewriting your C# business logic into JavaScript, CSHTML5/OpenSilver does this at compile time:
