Hi Everyone,

We were stalled on a bunch of improvements that I wanted to make for  
external devs (mostly related to removal of the SIGNED requirement for  
external layouts). That’s been done now, and modulo some hiccups around  
mspec right now which we will fix tomorrow, we should be back in the  
business of regular updates.

Thanks,  
-John

Consider following self-contained example program. The program  
uses generic proxy class to wrap WPF-widgets and dynamically add  
new to itself methods that correspond to the wrapped-class methods.

------------------ [CODE] -------------------------

using System;  
using Microsoft.Scripting;  
using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;  
using Ruby.Runtime;

class Program  
{  
[STAThread] static void Main(string[] args)  
{  
ScriptRuntimeSetup runtimeSetup = new ScriptRuntimeSetup(true);  
runtimeSetup.DebugMode = true;  
ScriptRuntime scriptRuntime =  
ScriptRuntime.Create(runtimeSetup);  
ScriptEngine engine = scriptRuntime.GetEngine(“ruby”);  
try {  
engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(@"  
require ‘mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,  
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’  
require ‘System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,  
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’  
require ‘PresentationFramework, Version=3.0.0.0,  
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’  
require ‘PresentationCore, Version=3.0.0.0,  
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35’  
Console = System::Console

```
            class WpfProxy
                def initialize(wpf_widget); @wpf_widget =

```

wpf\_widget; end  
def method\_missing(method\_id, \*args)  
Console.write\_line ’ Adding proxy-method for:  
’ + method\_id.to\_s  
self.class.send(:define\_method, method\_id) do  
|\*args|  
return @wpf\_widget.send(method\_id, \*args)  
end  
# Use the just-made method for first time (on  
subsequent calls, the new method is used directly)  
return self.send(method\_id, \*args)  
end  
end

```
            proxy =

```

WpfProxy.new(System::Windows::Controls::TextBox.new())  
Console.write\_line ‘set to something’  
proxy.text = ‘something’  
Console.write\_line 'textbox text is: ’ + proxy.text.to\_s  
Console.write\_line ‘set to something different’  
proxy.text = ‘something different’ # FAILS HERE IN IR  
SVN 128  
Console.write\_line 'textbox text is: ’ + proxy.text.to\_s  
").Execute(engine.CreateScope());  
}  
catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); }  
}  
} // class

------------------ [CODE] -------------------------

When executed with IR SVN 127 (and some earlier versions), program runs  
as planned and output is:

set to something  
Adding proxy-method for: text=  
Adding proxy-method for: text  
textbox text is: something  
set to something different  
textbox text is: something different

When executed with IR SVN 128, program runs as follows:

set to something  
Adding proxy-method for: text=  
Adding proxy-method for: text  
textbox text is: something  
set to something different

I can add a bug about this to the Bugtracker once confirmed that from  
spec-point-of-view, IR 127 is the correct way to behave and IR 128  
incorrect.

I’ve pushed out changes to our versions of Mspec, Rubyspec, and  
ironruby-tags that should work with this revision. I’d appreciate if  
someone could grab them, and rake compile and rake regression on them to  
be certain.

Our version of MSpec is now almost identical to the real version. I have  
one extra helper and two extra formatters that I need to fix and give to  
the real Mspec.

After that we may move away from a fork of MSpec, and just use the real  
version. I’d like to get to a point where we are running a specific tag  
of the real version, and only needing the git repo for our tags. We’ll  
see where that goes, and how it goes.
