Hi

For the dynamic script control I wrote I want to be able to share the  
runtime environment that IronRuby has got. Is that possible with the ir  
command ?

My WPF application has got a bunch of assembly references and code files  
already loaded. It also has some constants defined. Now when I use the  
dynamic script control I have to reinitialize that whole environment and  
that is quite costly. It would be nice if I would know how to share  
variables around and such.

It looks like the class that gets me the info I want is  
RubyExecutionContext  
🙂

Thanks  
Ivan
