Somewhere in a recent podcast I heard mention of a project where ASP.NET (maybe MVC?) did some sort of behind-the-scenes automatic JavaScript conversion with AJAX to tie the client and server-side code together in a manner similar to the Google Web Toolkit. I've forgotten the name. But it seemed like it was writing C# code that would be converted to either javascript or AJAX calls as needed automatically. It might have been an MS research project.
Does anyone know the name of this project?
