Building IronRuby WPF GUIs

问题:

This may be a silly question but I was under the impression that it was possible to use IronRuby and MS Visual Studio 2010 together to sort of build interfaces\edit XAML in one window and code ruby in the other?

Is this only possible to do with C#, Basic and C++ ?

I've browsed SO and seen some IronRuby snippets like this one:

button1.click do |sender, args|
    MessageBox.show("Hello World!")
end

So it stands to reason you can create GUIs somehow, but is the visual gui creator not available for ironruby?

回答1:

In order to build GUIs you should use XAML with WPF. You can create XAML with the editor in Visual Studio. Running a XAML file is possible with:

require "PresentationFramework"
include System::Windows
include System::Windows::Markup

xaml = File.Open('d:/app/window1/xaml', "r").read
@root = System::Windows::Markup::XamlReader.parse(xaml)

app = System::Windows::Application.new
app.run @root
