Hi, I have a little question about MS.Scripting. I am making the JScript compiler for moonlight and I have used MS.Scripting.dll of silverlight all the time(v2.1). But thanks to the fact that you said that there is version 2.1 for embedding in browser and 2.0. I want to try 2.0 to make a console compiler. I have used the ironruby MS.Scripting as reference to build MS.JScript.Compiler/Runtime dll and I see that the ironruby MS.Scripting is far from the one of Silverlight even in namespace( MS.Scripting.Internal.Astbecome MS.Scripting.Ast for example). What is the plan for it? Is the current version of ironruby is custom or out dated or is it a development version? thanks for any feedback. regards, Olivier Dufour ---

The way that our internal (Merlin) repository works is that all of the languages within Microsoft (Python, Ruby, JS and VB) all live in the same repository. This way when we refactor the DLR, we can make changes immediately in the affected languages without forcing them to break. When I sync IronRuby to SVN, I pull the latest sources from the Merlin tree and I extract a subset of those sources (DLR + IronRuby + some tests) into the public IronRuby SVN tree. Hope that helps, -John ---

The version of Microsoft.Scripting.dll in the Silverlight 1.1 alpha is several months old. Since the DLR is under active development, there’s been a lot of changes to the API surface area. You probably want to target the current DLR APIs, rather than the older APIs in the Silverlight 1.1 alpha. - John ---

OK, many thanks for your answer. I will use the ironruby or ironpython library! 2007/10/26, John M. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid):
