C# Script

I just have started to publish a documentation about available commands.

I can look at it here: http://www.codeplex.com/CSScript/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Documentation

Sorry for the delays...

I am glad to tell you that a new release is avaliable for download.

Codeplex Download

The current Version is 0.8.

it is a stable runtime for your C# Scripts.

Some Features:

• Extensiblity with Modules
• Feature to load CS-Files
• Property to get the RuntimeVersion
• better error messages
• redesign of architecture
• many bugfixes
  

Some people asking me "is the project still alive ?".
The Answer is YES.

Currently we working on Version 0.2.
Main Workitems are:

• Better performance


• Support for Modules
  Modules are a functions wich extend the usability of CSScript as a real scripting language.
  e.g. the Module "dos.csm" will give you some of the basic dos functions like copy, move and delete files ...
  More information about that at the next release.
  


• Support for 64 Bit installations


• Support for CommandPrompt (cmd.exe) scripts

With just two steps you can use VisualStudio to edit your CSScript -Files (*.csr).

Step 1

• start VS


• open Tools/Options - Dialog


• scroll down to "File Extensions"


• enter "csr" to Extension Field


• select C# as Editor and click on "Apply"

Step 2

#region HEADER
#if CSSRIPT
//place for the C#Script - Directives
loadASM        "System.Windows.Forms.dll";
#else
//ignore this part
public class vsdummy
{
    public void Main()
    {
#endif
#endregion
        //######################
        //start of script - code
        //######################

        string msg = "Hello World";
        for(int i=0;i<3;i++) msg+=String.Format("\n{0}...",i); 

        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(msg, "CSSCript - Sample");

        //####################
        //end of script - code
        //####################
#if !CSSRIPT
    }
}
#endif

Calling Convention: void loadAsm [AssemblyName];

This command load .net assemblys which needed to execute the script.

Please look at the following restrictions:

• Assemblys which resides only in the GAC are not supported
  (at the Moment)


• CSScript looks for Assemblys only in:
  
  
  
  • RunTime - Directory (installdir)
  
  
  • Script - Directory
  
  
  • .Net Framework - Directory
    (%winroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727)
  
  
  
  
  

The firt CSScript - Runtime (V0.0.1 - Prototype) ist just released here:

http://www.codeplex.com/CSScript/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=8886

You can run some simple scripts like these:

loadASM "System.Windows.Forms.dll";

string msg = "Hello World";
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) msg+=String.Format("\n{0}...",i);

System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(msg, "CSSCript - Sample");

We have decided to publish this project under the GNU General Public License, Version 2.

Feel free to download it here.

I just started the C# Script - Project.

Targets of the project are:

• create a scripting language like vbs for c# developer


• c# script should not be "only" a simple compiler caller like some other projects


• run scripts with a simple doubleclick or as planned task


• full support of C# 2.0 features


• predefined helpfull functions, e.g. string InputBox (string)


• ...
