[Mono-dev] ASP.NET Xarmin - GSoC 2013

[Rauf Butt]

Hi All,

Thanks for your valuable input. I had gone through MonoDevelop source code,
documentation and the requirements that were mentioned in the previous
emails. Based on the study, I have come across the following features of
ASP.NET to be incorporated into MonoDevelop.

*Run in Browser of choice

*Run/debug support on Remote server

*Support for MVC3

*Support for Razor and Razor templates
Please guide me what MonoDevelop namespace should I look into in order to
start adding these features? For example, the namespace that is used for
generating "Project Options" dialog box?

Thanks,
Rauf
