SapphireSteel Software today released the Ruby Connector - a drag-and-drop control which enables .NET programs to communicate with Ruby programs. This is freely available and may be used even if you don't use our Ruby In Steel IDE! Using the Ruby Connector, you can... - Create visual front-ends to Ruby programs using the Visual Studio form designer - Interact with the Ruby interpreter in your own applications in much the same way as you can interact with the Ruby Console in Ruby In Steel - Start or stop the Ruby interpreter at will and pass expressions from your .NET program to be evaluated by Ruby - Create 'hybrid'applications in which a .NET program runs simultaneously with a Ruby program and data is exchanged from one to the other Download The Ruby Connector here: http://www.sapphiresteel.com/SapphireSteel-Downloads best wishes Huw SapphireSteel Software Ruby and Rails In Visual Studio http://www.sapphiresteel.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
