.NET IntegrationFrom $1Table of contentsNo headersInterested in using the .NET framework or other .NET-based libraries from Ruby? Of course you are, and you’re in the right place. This documentation details how to use .NET-based libraries within and alongside IronRuby. IronRuby’s .NET integration is all about mapping CLR constructs to Ruby constructs, letting you use .NET-based code from C#, VB.NET, or any other CLR language, just like it was Ruby. This documentation mainly explains those mappings. This documentation assumes you already know Ruby, have IronRuby set up, and know how to use ir.exe. If not, see the Pragmatic Programmer’s Guide to Ruby and the main documentation page on ironruby.net.
Using these concepts, you can then interact with the larger .NET ecosystem, comprised of Microsoft provided frameworks like WPF, ASP.NET, WinForms, SQLServer, etc, and all other frameworks built on-top of .NET If you are designing a .NET API, follow these guidelines to make sure it is consumable by IronRuby (and other DLR languages in general).
