Hi!

I’m preparing an IronRuby article for a french newspaper, and would  
like to demonstrate the hosting features (possibly to show how to  
build a small dsl to script a C# application for instance).

I’m sitting on SVN at revision 68 but can’t get the wiki sample [1] to  
compile - I believe the hosting stuff is currently under heavy  
modification, right ?

Does anyone have an up-to-date hosting sample, or should I go back a  
few revisions ?

cheers!

You’re right. The Hosting API is currently under (re)construction.  
Therefore the example is currently not so nice:

```
        IScriptEnvironment runtime = 

```

ScriptEnvironment.GetEnvironment();  
IScriptEngine engine = IronRuby.GetEngine(runtime);  
IScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();

```
        List<string> strings = new List<string>();
        strings.Add("one");
        strings.Add("two");
        IronRuby.GetExecutionContext(runtime).GlobalVariables[SymbolTable.StringToId("strings")] 

```

= strings;

```
        SourceUnit script = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(

```

@"  
puts ““Hello World! There are #{$strings.count.to\_s} strings:””  
$strings.each\_with\_index { |s,i| puts “”#{i}: #{s}"" }  
");  
engine.Execute(scope, script);

It will get better soon.
