ScriptSharp: Converting class into JavaScript object on selected metadata

Question

Imagine you have two ScriptSharp classes like the following:

public class Person {
    public int Weight;
    public Name Name;
    public int Height;
}

public class Name { 
   public string FirstName;
   public string LastName;
}

How can I get ScriptSharp to generate the following in the output JS ?

var object1 = {
  weight: 0,
  name: {firstname: 'fname1', lastname: 'srn1'},
  height: 97
};

instead of

var object1 = {};
object1.weight = 0;
object1.height = 97;

Answer 1

Eventually there will be language support for object literals.

In the mean time you can use the technique demonstrated with the CustomDictionary class in one of the script# tests - see https://github.com/nikhilk/scriptsharp/blob/master/tests/TestCases/Expression/New/Code.cs.
