support ICustomTypeDescriptor in addition to supporting Reflection. The
one downside is that ICustomTypeDescriptor isn’t as comprehensive as
Reflection.Emit – for example it doesn’t support calling
methods. But it does support getting properties. So you’ll
want to back that up w/ Reflection, and hopefully in time there’ll be a solution
which will encompass all of these.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

While the same is more than likely true in regards to the ability to access
extension functions written in Python, this is one area I can help with more so
than anything else as this was a significant area of study and development I
put into Saxon.NET before handing over the reigns to Dr. Kay in February.
In addition, with his guidance, I've since continued forward in working
on various areas of research and development. With this in mind, in

<p class=MsoNormal>The answer to this appears to be no - The XSL processor uses
Reflection to try and discover the method to be called. In
IronPython reflection won't tell you what methods are available. We
do support the ICustomTypeDescriptor interface which is another way to get this
information (which enables scripting WPF), but unfortunately XSL isn't falling
back to that. <br>

We'll need to work w/ some other teams within the company to make sure we can
get the right amount of support in the right places to make this all come
together. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm
not going to open a bug on this (because it's not necessarily an IP issue) but
I believe we will be tracking this one (and similar issues) closely. <br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Can I script XSL extension objects using Iron Python?<br>
