ElectronNET/Electron.NET

This system is a .NET library and tooling suite that enables the development of desktop applications using C# and ASP.NET Core, bridging the gap between web frontends and native host processes. It provides a comprehensive API for managing the Electron runtime, including window control, system integration, and inter-process communication. The framework supports both 'DotNet-first' and 'Electron-first' startup modes, allowing developers to leverage standard web development practices while accessing native OS features.

The project underwent a comprehensive architectural modernization, migrating the build system to MSBuild and Nuke while restructuring the solution to support .NET 10 and Blazor. Significant refactoring included converting the Electron host to TypeScript, introducing a new runtime class for socket management, and adding a complete WebApp sample with extensive native API integrations and demo views.

This period focused on a comprehensive refactoring of the Electron.NET ecosystem, introducing a modernized build system with MSBuild targets and a new socket-based bridge for robust .NET-Electron communication. The work established a new runtime lifecycle management system and integrated ASP.NET Core hosting, while simultaneously expanding test coverage and sample applications to support the updated architecture.
