no, I don't want to use .NET libraries – Sooksoon

You need some framework after all, .Net, Adobe AIR, Mozilla XUL etc. Since you're "DotNet Ninja", I thought you're interested in .Net :) – Phenomenalism

Answer 1

You can use node-webkit.

It uses webkit to render the webpage and execute the Javascript, and you will have access to all the Node.js javascript API (reading/writing files, …)

Answer 4

You can use an .net application for execute javascript codes.

You can make this:

string CompilerJScript (string JSource) {
            return Microsoft.JScript.Eval.JScriptEvaluate(JSource, Microsoft.JScript.Vsa.VsaEngine.CreateEngine());
}

You need to reference the Microsoft.JScript dll assembly.

Note: don't using only keyword to reference the assembly. right click on the project in VS and choose 'Add reference'
