This is definately an interesting article. However, since the article was first published, other alternatives have been introduced. A good (and surprisingly easy) example is hosting IronPython within your application.

Great article - this is just what I was looking for. Was having an issue with the AddObject until I added this <ComVisible(True)> works fine now....

To make this work in VB2005, change your class definitions:

<ComVisible(True)> Public Class ClassNameToAddToScriptControl

to enable .AddObject for a class.

If I create a text file with the script commands in it, how should I best load and execute the script in that file.

I got this to work. In C# I had created a simple class called ScriptableObject as a test. By default, a new class is created without an access modifier, making it internal. If you change it to public, you can then add it using the script.AddObject call. Good luck

Dana, If you're using Visual Studio 2005, make sure in your AssemblyInfo.cs file you have this: using System.Runtime.InteropServices; and, lower down, this: [assembly: ComVisible(true)] It's probably set to false - set it to true.

Jimmy, I tried the adding "Imports System.runtime.InteropServices" statement to my class file and yet, I get the same "Invalid Cast Exception" when using AddObjectin MSScriptControl. Could you please post some additional information in how you got MSScript Control to work with VS 2005. Thanks

I found the answer! use: Imports System.runtime.InteropServices ... Public Class ClassNameToAddToScriptControl Then it goes well with AddObject of ScriptControl

I'm running .net 2005 I have the same problem. Is this article as spam?
