[Ironruby-core] Visual Ruby / Ruby in Steel — what's up?

First, what Shay Friedman says in talking about IDE's in "IronRuby 
Unleashed" on page 37: "the ability to run IronRuby directly" from its 
interface.

And secondly, what my colleague(s) show me with VS and C# — automatic 
creation of code-behind files and placeholder code when creating a 
project and when adding objects (like buttons) to XAML.

This is also a question I have, and I'm glad you brought it up, Eduardo.

If I were to purchase Ruby in Steel text edition (I won't be doing any 
Rails work), I'd be working with one of the no-charge Express editions 
of VS and other considerations make the 2010 version preferable for our 
project.

Your book is worth the money too. I purchased it a week ago and am glad 
I did.

I wonder — are there updates online to account for differences in the 
release version from the pre-release version the book was written from? 
I'm thinking particularly of chapter 16 on Silverlight.

I'm defintely tilted toward VS right now as an IDE, because I can get 
things explained by people I work with who use it. But I wonder: Does 
RubyMine work well with XAML?

And I followed the link to ironshay.com in your signature, which led me 
to the post from Dec 2008 on using VS to debug and run IronRuby code[1]. 
Does that still work? I'll be trying it out after I get off work.

Thanks,

Roger
