JScript.NET Design IDE

I'm currently using JScript.NET for a small UI application. The problem is that my Visual Studio Express doesn't support JScript.NET for designing the UI. Is there a free IDE that I can use to design my UI and produce valid JScript.NET code?

I just need the IDE Design functionality to Design the application, that's it.

Currently what I'm doing is converting the very similar C# code that it generates, over to JScript.NET, but It's kind of getting annoying.

c#

private System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser webBrowser1;

jscript

private var webBrowser1 : System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser;

i also check the output on compile. just to fix any other conversion problems

So there doesn't seem to be ANY JScript.NET IDE out there. If you're just looking to design your application, you can just produce the C# or whatever code for the UI and generate a .dll out of that. Then you can use that dll from you JScript.NET code.

This is what I'm doing and it works great... it's awesome how you can share dlls across different languages! Loving .NET!
