Since a couple people made the doc comment, I thought I'd make people aware of the hosting doc at http://dlr.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Docs%20and%20specs&referringTitle=Home . It should be in the ipy dist, but I keep docs up to date on the DLR site. See dlr-spec-hosting.doc.
Of course, you may have that in hand and still telling me the docs are insufficient. I kept meaning to take Dino's World's Worse Paint Program (tm) and the hosting it does and break it down into a walk through that starts with the app having no hosting, then adding the various features that sample shows. I haven't looked, but I'm pretty sure that's in the source tree from his talk a year or so ago :-).

Hi Bill and the IP community. This is my first contribution to the mailing list so hello to all :). I've been experimenting with hosted IronPython (and IronRuby) with Silverlight for a while now. It's not yet being used for real in our companies products but may well be soon. Here are my answers to your questions: * Briefly what are your goals for hosting Our goal is to provide a way for technically competent users who aren't programmers to easily create Silverlight (4) UI's using ironpython or ironruby script and custom controls that we will provide. The script they write will extend the viewmodel for a control to do things like provide input validation and to interact with our core product's API. * What kind of host application do you have, or what is its main purpose? Our host application provides a mechanism to load controls or pages and execute their associated scripts * Briefly what are the key features of hosting that you count on or use Currently its fairly simple. We provide variables to the hosted code from c# and also call methods that are defined in the hosted code from c#. So far the current capabilities of IP/IR are sufficient for us. The IP tools for VS2010 is also something we are investigating. Like someone else has mentioned, lack of documentation is the main problem I have encountered so far.

(Bill Chiles) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:47:52 +0000 From: Bill Chiles <[email protected]> To: Discussion of IronPython <[email protected]> Subject: [IronPython] IronPython Hosting ? Message-ID: <87f87f189cdd444089246b8290ec9735279d3...@tk5ex14mbxc205.redmond.corp.mi crosoft.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I'm trying to gather information and concrete examples about IronPython hosting. I'll sift through some of the old email, but I'd super appreciate if you could send me some info about hosting IronPython if you're doing that. The questions I'd have are: * Briefly what are your goals for hosting (e.g., app scripting for users, biz rule execution, feature development of your app, etc.)? * What kind of host application do you have, or what is its main purpose? * Briefly what are the key features of hosting that you count on or use (e.g., supplying host globals to the hosted IronPython code, accessing IronPython variables, interop with the dynamic objects, namespace isolation with scopes, multi-instanced ScriptRuntime in an AppDomain, etc.)? I really appreciate your time and responses! Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
