Run the sample above at [Deck.NET](https://deck.net/helloworld). ## TL;DR * Read the [Getting Started](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/wiki) Knowledge Base article * Try [Deck](https://deck.net/) if you want to play * Installation: * Add **Bridge.NET** Visual Studio extension, or * Use [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/bridge) to install into a C# Class Library project (`Install-Package Bridge`), or * [Download](http://bridge.net/download/) the Visual Studio Code starter project * The [Attribute Reference](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/wiki/attribute-reference) documentation is important * The [Global Configuration](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/wiki/global-configuration) documentation is important * Check out [Retyped](https://retyped.com/) for 2400+ supported libraries ([demos](https://demos.retyped.com)) * Licensed under [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/blob/master/LICENSE.md) * Need Help?

The easiest place to see Bridge in action is [Deck.NET](https://deck.net/). [![Video Tutorial](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62210/30412015-ee0e9ccc-98d1-11e7-9a28-3bc02b900190.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEUR1UthE2c) ## Sample The following code sample demonstrates a simple **App.cs** class that will run automatically on page load and write a message to the Bridge Console. **Example ([Deck](https://deck.net/7fb39e336182bea04c695ab43379cd8c))** ```csharp public class Program { public static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } } ``` The C# class above will be compiled into JavaScript and added to **/Bridge/ouput/demo.js** within your project. By default, Bridge will use the Namespace name as the file name. In this case: **demo.js**. There are many options to control the output of your JavaScript files, and the [Attribute Reference](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/wiki/attribute-reference) is important [documentation](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/wiki) to review. ```javascript Bridge.define("Demo.Program", { main: function Main() { System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } }); ``` ## Installation A full list of installation options available at [bridge.net/download/](http://bridge.net/download/), including full support for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Community on Windows, and Visual Studio Mac. ### Bridge for Visual Studio If you're using Visual Studio for Windows, the easiest way to get started is by adding the Bridge.NET for Visual Studio [extension](https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/dca5c80f-a0df-4944-8343-9c905db84757). From within Visual Studio, go to the `Tools > Extensions and Updates...`. ![Bridge for Visual Studio](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62210/29292228-932ebb7e-8103-11e7-952a-3088274acf10.png) From the options on the left side, be sure to select **Online**, then search for **Bridge**. Clicking **Download** will install Bridge for Visual Studio. After installation is complete, Visual Studio may require a restart. ![Visual Studio Extensions and Updates](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/62210/29292229-93406b44-8103-11e7-90a0-30232486a5a7.png) Once installation is complete you will have a new **Bridge.NET** project type. When creating new Bridge enabled projects, select this project type. ### NuGet Another option is installation of Bridge into a new **C# Class Library** project using [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/packages/bridge). Within the NuGet Package Manager, search for **Bridge** and click to install. Bridge can also be installed using the NuGet Command Line tool by running the following command: ``` Install-Package Bridge ``` More information regarding Nuget package installation for Bridge is available in the [Documentation](https://github.com/bridgedotnet/Bridge/wiki/nuget-installation). ## Contributing Interested in contributing to Bridge?
