The Answer is YES.

Currently we working on Version 0.2.

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.

Edit CSScript - Files with VisualStudio

2008-01-10T11:19:00.000+01:00

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

Step 1

Inform the VS about the fileextension.

To do that please follow these steps:

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

Make your CSR - Code valid for intellisense and the c# compiler.
Sample:


#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

Have fun...

Command - Details: loadASM

2007-12-10T12:57:00.000+01:00

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)

Next Version becomes a command to add additionals folders.

Project started

2007-11-06T12:43:00.000+01:00

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)

We have also a project logo ;-) :

That's all for the kickoff.

Hope you like the idea.
