Recognizing Javascript from C# in Visual Studio.

Unity Engine
1

When I am writing in C# to call a function from a file that is in Javascript, I am getting an error in Visual Studio 2010. I have worked around the problem in Unity by ensuring that the Javascript compiles first using the advice on this page. That is, the code runs fine and Unity does what I expect, but Visual Studio keeps telling me there is an error. I have two questions about this:

Is there a way to get Visual Studio to recognize this is not a problem?

Is there a better way to do this than stuffing the JS files in Standard Assets?

You might be able to get around this with some fancy Dependency Injection using run-time reflection to resolve concrete types, but most likely you’d have an easier time simply moving all your code to C#.

EDIT: Maybe there’s a way to have Unity compile a .NET dll of the JavaScript classes which you can then reference in the Visual Studio project, but I have no idea if that’s possible.

I am planning to do (and already have done) some porting. I just wanted to post to see if there was a simple solution I could use before I get to that.
