Calling Ruby classes from .NET/C#

[Vassilis Rizopoulos]

I have a small C# GUI and a rather extensive ruby application.
What's the best way to marry the two (I can't change the C# GUI
requirement and I really want to keep my Ruby app ).
Ideally I would like to call Ruby classes from the C# code (if push come
to shove I will do a system call and run the ruby app externaly)
Cheers,
V.-

Our Ruby Connector does that. The Ruby Connector will let your .NET
programs communicate with the Ruby interpreter or even run a .NET app
and a Ruby program simultaneously. It also gives you the ability to
design visual front ends to Ruby programs using the VS form designer and
a language such as C#, VB.NET or Chrome.

Currently the Ruby Connector is in beta and is only available to
registered users of Ruby In Steel Developer. We plan to make it more
widely available shortly, so if you want to keep up to date, be sure to
visit our blog from time to time.
