Visual Studio .NET plug-in, developer edition of Visual MainWin for J2EE, which enables you to use C# or VB.NET to develop, debug and deploy Web applications and Web services that run on Windows, Linux and any Java-enabled platform.
Grasshopper supports single-source code development, so you can develop an ASP.NET application that will compile and run on multiple platforms. Grasshopper bundles the Apache Tomcat application server and PostgreSQL database, so you get a complete cross-platform Visual Studio development environment for any platform running Apache Tomcat.

Features include:
- MSIL to Java bytecode compilation
- Visual Studio integration
- Access to external Java components
- Open source .NET Framework: sources are shared with Mono, and compiled to Java bytecode, using the Grasshopper binary compiler.
