CSHTML5 is a tool that compiles .NET applications written in C# and XAML to JavaScript and HTML5 so they run in the browser without plugins. Its goal was to let developers familiar with Silverlight or WPF bring their existing XAML UI skills and C# code to the web, and it was provided as a Visual Studio extension. It was later succeeded by OpenSilver, a follow-up project rebuilt on WebAssembly, and is an example of solving a problem similar to Microsoft's Blazor in a different way.
