This will be useful indeed while debugging in VS, but also it would be very interesting to look into the source code to view how they did it, expecially the Windows Form related part.. (..but what about Silverlight? :))

NeoSwiff beta

After MTASC compiler, I read today of another upcoming SWF compiler.

NeoSwiff allows developers to write Flash™ applications in C#. NeoSwiff comes with a C# to SWF compiler, and also with a Visual Studio .NET support. This is very interesting 🙂
Moreover the compiler is available for Windows/Mac OSX and Linux
