[Ironruby-core] Calling a C# static from IronRuby

[Jimmy Schementi]

FYI, we’re thinking about allowing you to use “include” with .NET types, which will include it’s static methods. That would enable:

include MyCSharpClass
puts mymethod "foo"

IronPython already does this for import, so it seems like a good idea:

from MyCSharpClass import mymethod
print mymethod("foo")

You can only reach it by adding the class as receiver.

but you can use method missing as a dispatcher:

alias :old_mm :method_missing
def method_missing(method_name, *args, &block)
   return MyCSharpClass.send(method_name, *args) if MyCSharpClass.respond_to? method_name
   old_mn method_name, *args, &block
 end



try this in a console :)

alias :old_mm :method_missing
def method_missing(method_name, *args, &block)
   return System::Math.send(method_name, *args) if System::Math.respond_to? method_name
   old_mn method_name, *args, &block
 end

puts pi

Hi all,
Is there any way to declare a C# static method accessible from IronRuby
as a regular Ruby method?
like:
public class MyCSharpClass {
 public static string mymethod(string test) {
    return test + "yes";
 }
}

in ironruby:
puts mymethod("test")
