Hi all! I’m running ruby script from C# in my project. It’s a very useful feature to initialize ScriptScope with an IDictionary, (it’s much faster to fill a dictionary, than making scope.SetVariable calls). The problem is, that if I define functions in my script, then a NotImplementedException is thrown. A simple example is here: [No description - C# Paste](http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpil37pp) It fails at engine.Execute(script, scope). However, when I create my scope with no dictionary, or just pass no scope to Execute, everything works fine. Is it an issue to be fixed in the future? I need to set, and change many context variables for my scripts at running time, so I have to work out this problem somehow. I’m using IronRuby 1.1. Thanks: Anton ---

I’ve just added support for string dictionaries. It’s committed to the github repo.

Very nice, Thanks! There is another error related to scopes, here is a code to reproduce it: [http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpw8o44y](http://paste.dprogramming.com/dpw8o44y) It throws NullReferenceException for me. When I executed the commented lines (using no scope), no exception was thrown. Anton 2010/11/21 Tomas M. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
