Hi I’m going to take this weekend to add some more error checking to IronRuby MVC and to create a readme with a quick sample. But as things stand I think you should have a usable version of IronRuby MVC currently in my github repo ([GitHub - casualjim/ironrubymvc: IronRuby ASP.NET MVC otherwise known as ASP.NET MVC rubification](http://github.com/casualjim/ironrubymvc)). I would love to see some bugs being found 🙂 So if you’re interested to help, please get the source and try to build an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) MVC application with ironruby or help me out by writing specs. There is something pretty annoying though. When you’re in a C# project (like a library or an MVC project) and you create a text file. VS will help you out by adding a BOM to the file. Now IronRuby doesn’t know how to handle files like that. I realise you can do File - Save as - Save with encoding but that didn’t have the desired effect either. So in the end i created my ruby files with Notepad++ and added those to the IronRuby mvc project. This wasn’t a problem earlier because I had created my own reader and script runner, and I just refactored to use StreamContentProviders from Microsoft.Scripting. As soon as I use the DLR infrastructure it starts complaining about the BOM’s. (Invalid character ï found). I’d like to thank Jimmy for his advice. Thanks Ivan ---

Hi Ivan, I’ll try to take some time to have a look at this. One question though: did you already try to use this on Mono ? Is it possible at all ? – Thibaut ---

The [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) MVC license explicitly forbids this. The mono guys have to reinvent that as well. On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 11:26 AM, Thibaut Barrère ---

Ivan, Thanks for doing this, it’s really awesome that you’ve taken initiative in this project! There’s a way to put VS in ASCII mode … but I don’t remember how. I felt that pain when getting the initial version of ironrubymvc set up. I’m working on a silverline port to [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) MVC, so I’ll be ramping up my work on this as well. ~js From: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Ivan Porto Carrero Sent: Friday, March 06, 2009 1:21 AM To: ironruby-core Subject: [Ironruby-core] please test ironrubymvc Hi I’m going to take this weekend to add some more error checking to IronRuby MVC and to create a readme with a quick sample.

I figure I’m already passing a streamcontentprovider. I can just pass one that reads the file and is a little bit more forgiving 🙂 I’d like to refactor now to a DLR implementation so that the guys from IronPython have an easier time plugging in their language. I looked at improving the error handling but atm there is not that much information to be gotten from the exceptions, so I took it out again. On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 8:59 PM, Jimmy S. \< ---

Yeah, that’s pretty unfortunate. However, Mono needs to also reimplement System.Web.Routing, which is in .NET 3.5, and System.Web.Mvc depends on. So even if MVC was Ms-Pl, they’d still have work to do. Let’s hope (at-least) MVC changes their license.
