Embedding the Dynamic Language Runtime
Articles, Tutorials and Examples
Note
For a much more in depth introduction to hosting and interacting with dynamic languages from .NET applications see chapters 14 & 15 of IronPython in Action.
The examples that go with these articles are maintained in a subversion repository (thanks to Google Code): IronPython Examples Project Page
-
An exploration of how to embed Dynamic Language Runtime engines into .NET applications (C# or VB.NET). It addresses topics like presenting an API from your application to user code, handling errors and how to interact with dynamic objects from a statically typed language.

A logo-like turtle that can be scripted with Python and even used as a serious system administration tool! Adding Python scripting to this simple application was only a handful of lines of code.
The IronPython Calculator and Evaluator
Two simple examples of embedding IronPython in C#. A calculator that evaluates Python expressions and the 'Evaluator' that executes Python code and displays the results.
-
Creating a custom executable for a Python application with a little C#. (Currently using the IronPython 1 API - to be updated.)
Embedding IronPython in Silverlight
Using IronPython to dynamically evaluate code stored as text at runtime - in a Silverlight application.
Embedding IronPython in IronPython
Exploring the IronPython embedding API from Python code. It includes an example of how to set custom streams on an engine to capture standard out.
