This should work under desktop WPF (though not under Silverlight) because 
IronRuby objects implement ICustomTypeDescriptor. But consider the following 
code:

class Drive
  def letter
    'C'
  end
  def format
    # format the hard drive
  end
end

How do we know what the "properties" of Drive are? For obvious reasons, we 
would want to return "letter" but not "format". The way I protected against 
this was to return only those names which have both an arity 0 getter and an 
arity 1 setter. In other words, the above class would also need a

  def letter= value
    # raise some kind of "not supported" exception
  end

in order for the ICustomTypeDescriptor implementation to recognize "letter" as 
a property.

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Data Binding to IronRuby Objects in WPF

Hi there,

I'm trying to databind IronRuby objects to a WPF listbox with no success

My data is a Ruby array of objects. The array seems to be bound fine as
I see the expected number of rows in the listbox. However, every object
within the array fails to bind correctly. I tried the object to be a
Ruby hash or a custom class without success… WPF wouldn't display the
correct value.

When I tried to create an array of CLR classes, it worked.

Will it work in the  future?

Thanks,
Shay.
