Question

I’m implementing some objects which will have about an equal amount of richness on both the client-side and server side.

In this particular case, I’ll be building a (hopefully) little class library to deal with search tokens. So as a pseudo-code example, I’ll want to be able to do the equivalent of the following in both Javascript and on the server (C# in my case).

s = new SearchTokenList();
s.Add(new SearchToken(field, value, negation));

What design strategies will help avoid creating a big ball of mud for a library which must span C# and Javascript?

Update: Looking for more of strategies than mechanics. But I’ll take any guidance I can get from those who have previously done similar things.

Take a look at Script# by Nikhil Kothari, might help you out. It is a C# to JavaScript compiler.
