The namespaces Microsoft.VSA, Microsoft.JScript.VSA etc. are marked as obsolete in the documentation of the Framework 2.0 beta-2.
I used classes in these namespaces for customizing applications by using JScript's at runtime.
Are there any substitutions of the VSA stuff in the new framework or does Microsoft just stop developing this
Thanks

I am interested in the resolution of this topic as well. We are currently developing a medical device that would greatly benefit from VSA's scripting capabilities. I was surprised to see that it was deprecated since VS2005. In particular, what we had envisioned was a customer (not end user) programmable instrument that could support custom tests according to "recipe" scripts that built upon a basic set of predefined machine functions that we coded in C# assemblies. If we can get threading, events, and an IDE/editor for free, all the better. What other options do we have "off the shelf "

It is very disturbing to see MS remove one of the most interesting feature of .net without providing a valuable alternative.
The new VSTA solution from MS is far from being an alternative because it does not provide scripting languages like VB or jscript. traditional user can only (at best) write scripted code - providing VB or C# (as in VSTA) is FAR FRON BEING ENOUGH.
What a shame and a lack of understanding from MS employee on how the users of their technology can build great product.

I want to be able to implement VBA .NET stylee with a design interface Is this going to be possible with .NET, is it possible with VBA referenced from .NET (due to COM )
I read lots about VSA and tried to download it and stumped at the last hurdle!!!!
Can anyone shed any light

I just started to port a component to from VS2003/.Net 1.1 to VS2005/.Net 2.0 and stumbled over the same problem. I used IVsaSite to offer a an opportunity to convert displayed measurement data via a user configurable formula. I provided a property, in which the user may pass a C# based text for the conversion formula. I would appreciate very much, if an adequate replacement for such scenario would be provided. As far as I understand, ICodeCompiler would support this Nevertheless I would appreciate, if I could reuse the existing scripting code under .Net Framework 2.0 too. Another question would be: Is ICodeCompiler then existing in the next .Net Framework generation or do we have to reimplement that stuff on every new version

If you can describe your app and how you currently use JScript, it will help is understand the scenarios we should continue to support in the future.
Thanks.

We are still waiting for the "definitive" answer.

VSA was one of my favorite features in .Net! I have several apps that use it. Most of them are toy apps (a program that graphs a user definable mathematical functions and a program that lets users customize the rules in Conway's Game of Life) but I've also used it in a real world commercial application (allowing a custom script to be used to do advanced validation of data being submitted by a web form). In my mind VSA = a free scripting interface in any application. Think of all the applications that have custom scripting: text editors, office applications, games, 3d modeling/animation tools, and I could go on. Why should all those apps implement custom scripting when .Net can give it to you for free
That said, CodeDom is also very cool, I've always thought VSA was easier to implement, quicker, and gives you a few free features like events that CodeDom doesn't, but unless you can show that CodeDom gives you everything VSA gives you and it is totally redundant to have both, then why scrap it The customers want this.
