[IronPython] IronPython and Silverlight SDK

I can address the non-silverlight, DLR hosting part of your query -

The following posts should help you get started with hosting the desktop DLR in your app (with and w/o using config files)

The second link contains a self contained sample console app that hosts the latest (IP V2 B5) desktop DLR.

Hope this helps

Hi!

I downladed the lastest SL SDK from codeplex and wanted to use ScriptRuntime and ruby & python engines with it.

I found out, that the API is quite different between IP 2.0b4 and the version included in the SL-SDK.

Is the SL-SDK version intended for "hosting" scenarios at all? Or is it Silverlight only? I noticed that the Microsoft.Scripting.dll is a version 2.0, whereas the one with IronPython b4 (and b5) is 1.0

While on the subject, how can I use the DLR in the "hosting scenario" and use either IronPython or IronRuby as a languages on top of it in the same ScriptRuntime?

Thanks,
  Miha

ps: The hosting-spec documents is ok to see the "overview" of what it is it supposed to do, but I am missing specifically some "guidance" on how to initialize the ScriptRuntime from configuration. What is expected there?
