Interaction - RunUO

Spooky · 03-16-2003, 10:13 PM

With the ability in Beta 21 for VB .Net scripts to work with RunUO and interact with C# scripts I think it would be a good thing if C# scripts could interact with the VB .Net scripts as well.

There are enough people that know C# or VB .Net or both that having it work in both directions would be good, cause no matter which language you know you can write scripts that interact with scripts in the other language.

Hope this makes some sense.

The problem is that of compilation. As I understand it, the current compilers cannot compile code from both languages at the same time. As a result, the two languages must be compiled seperately.

So, the C# scripts get compiled first, and because of that, they cannot reference the as-yet uncompiled VB.NET scripts.

i know VB and c++

and I must say going to c# was easy.. c++ is easy.. VB just takes alot of workaround... but C# is to the point I find.

so Im happy I took weeks to read the scripts and learn it.. now i can do minor scripts and im proud of em!

There is still plenty you can do in vb.net. You can do anything in vb than you can do in the C# scripts.

You can still reference vb from C#, you have to use ScriptCompiler.FindTypeByName and use the Type option to find parameteers and stuff....

hmm i think doing this would require a comploie of c#, then compile of vb, then recompile the c#

i think id have a huge conflict problem, and alot of startup time, it may not be a good idea..., but if it could it woudl be helpfull
