Dr. Dobb's Active Scripting Columnhttp://syndication.sdmediagroup.com/images/logo_xml.gif http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0602as/ Last time we began outfitting out .NET Scripting Host with basic debugger support modeled after the steps we follow when creating a COM-based Scripting Host. Let's take a look at how the code for those steps is integrated into our existing host. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0601as/ The ActivDbg.tlb file from the SDK is used to generate definitions of the Active Debugging interfaces, and the initial calls to setup support for debugging are added to our host. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0511as/ .NET Scripting Hosts, Part Ten; we continue looking at the three primary interfaces we need to create our smart host. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0510as/ Upgrading a basic scripting host to a smart host. Here we lay out the C# definition of the IRemoteDebugApplication interface, which is the ancestor of IDebugApplication. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0509as/ Extending a basic host in .NET to a smart host starts with mapping the ProcessDebugManager, IDebugApplication, and IDebugDocumentHelper interfaces into .NET. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0508as/ The seventh part in this series on .NET Scripting Hosts continues looking at how we can handle errors that may occur in our host -- both expected and unexpected types. By this time, hopefully you have a feel for what it takes to create a very basic scripting host in C#. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0507as/ As we move into the sixth part of this series on .NET Scripting Hosts, our basic scripting host is functional -- we've created a basic scripting host site implementation for the scripting engine to call back into, we've created a specific engine for the language we want to use, initialized it with some script and COM objects, and executed a simple script. Next, we're going to look a bit deeper into the values we return from the scripting host interfaces, particularly when errors occur. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0506as/ So up to now we've created a very basic scripting host in C# that initializes an instance of JScript and sets the host as the site callback for the engine. Next, we'll add support for one of the more complicated parts of a scripting host -- integration of objects into a script. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0505as/ So far we've looked at the steps to define the IActiveScript, IActiveScriptSite and IActiveScriptParse interfaces in C# for our .NET scripting host. This month we'll focus in on code to create a skeleton host using these interfaces. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0504as/ This month we'll look at declaring an interface for developing an Active Scripting host in C# using the IActiveScriptParse and IActiveScriptSite interfaces. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0503as/ .NET Scripting Hosts, Part Two: The hardest part of .NET COM Interop for experienced COM developers is unlearning COM. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0502as/ Active Scripting techniques as well as interviews with developers from leading companies. http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=1520/ddj0501as/ Do you find keeping up with new developer products and version updates harder than keeping up with the Joneses (whoever they are)?
