I.e:

var ruby = new StringBuilder();

ruby.AppendLine(“class MyClass”);  
ruby.AppendLine(" def render");  
ruby.AppendLine(" “Hello!”");  
ruby.AppendLine(" end");  
ruby.AppendLine(“end”);

var scriptEngine = Ruby.CreateEngine();

scriptEngine.Execute(ruby.ToString());

var action =  
scriptEngine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(“MyClass.method(:new)”).Execute();

var o = scriptEngine.Operations.Call(action);

// how to invoke render?

Cheers,

Andrew.

No worries, I’ve found what I need in Phil H.'s IronRuby view engine  
sample.

Cheers,

Andrew.
