Great thanks. I have taken the emit code in your DynamicDelegate and created
a DynamicLanguageSupport.dll library that given a dynamic object interface:

public interface IObject {
    public object send(string message, object[]args);
}

Can generate appropriate delegate and class types using these two interfaces

public class DynamicDelegateFactory {

    public static Delegate create(Type delegateType, IObject o, string
message);

}

You can also create the appropriate wrapper object for ruby instances using

public class DynamicClassFactory {

    // creates a subclass of baseType (which must implement IObject above)
    // that implements the interfaces in interfaces
    public static Type getType(Type baseType, Type[] interfaces);

}


I'm thinking this is just an example of code that is useful for any dynamic
scripting language that wants to interop with .net, so I have extracted it
into a separate project (cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/rubydotnet co
misc/DynamicLanguageSupport).

I have a problem that I hope you guys can help me with. The
DynamicLanguageSupport.dll is now needed by my dotnet.so, but I need to put
the DynamicLanguageSupport.dll next to the ruby.exe binary otherwise it
isn't found.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Thomas
