Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:25:35 GMT

The Ruby Connector is a drag-and-drop control which enables .NET programs to communicate with Ruby programs. 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
