It seems like the world is obsessed on using the wrong technologies for the task although the big guys have got to the same conclusion and that is way GWT and Script# where developed.

As opposed to GWT and Script# which compile Java/C# to JavaScript Visual WebGui is a run time environment extending ASP.NET by providing an alternative HTTP handling pipe line. Instead of looking at web development as serving pages we have events coming in and update commands return to the browser using an AJAX layer.

You can see a live sample here (FireFox support will be available in a few days) http://samples.visualwebgui.com/mainform.wgx.

You can see some videos showing what it means to develop using this concept here

We are planning on providing a Java version as well based on swing API and design time capabilities.
