Silverlight: Embed IronRuby/DLR Scripting within XAML using IValueConv

Sat, 02 Oct 2010 21:50:55 GMT

After I wrote the "Intro to IronRuby/DLR Scripting in C# Silverlight 4 Application" post, I came across an interesting series on embedding DLR scripts in XAML with WPF. This is an interesting series, although the code doesn't run in Silverlight, due to the fact that Silverlight is only a subset of WPF and doesn't support the System.Windows.Markup.MarkupExtension class. I test out a couple things in Silverlight, and I was able to get similar DLR scripting functionality working under Silverlight using a combination of a simple, custom IValueConverter and a custom UserControl class.

C# Recorder using IronRuby

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:00:00 GMT

The Ruby languages has some very powerful built-in abilities. These are now available in C# 4.0 thanks to the dynamic keyword and IronRuby. In this post I take advantage of some of the powerful Ruby built-in abilities to create a class that records C# statements and playbacks them on an arbitrary object - a task that has been very complicated to achieve until now.

Specification Testing in .NET using Ruby

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:29:31 GMT

The purpose of this post is to run through a process which will ultimately allow you to write Ruby based specifications for your .NET code. Why would you want to do this? The intended purpose for this practice is to gain the most benefit when doing BDD. Trying to do BDD in C# results in a lot of syntactical noise in the code which distracts from the goal of having clear, readable specifcations of how the intended function should behave. The advantage of using Ruby is that the scripted nature of the language allows physical (as well as logical) separation of speficiations from code, opening up the realm of possibility that specifications are written by non-technical folk. Furthermore, the Ruby syntax lends itself to building DSLs perfect for the purpose of allowing clean, almost human-readable code.

Make Your Application Extendable Using the DLR

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:29:41 GMT

Application extensibility comes in various ways and names. It seems, though, that one kind of extensibility was left to the very few - application macros. This kind is now easier to achieve than ever before, using the new Dynamic Language Runtime.
