[IronPython] Silverlight - Adding References to Assemblies

[John Messerly]

Hi Michael,

What does the call to clr.AddReference look like? We currently have a limitation in Silverlight, that we require a fully qualified assembly name, e.g.:

clr.AddReference("MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null")

(We do some magic to map short names to full names for platform assemblies, but not for downloaded assemblies.)

The only other thing I can think of is maybe your DLL is somehow getting compiled against the wrong mscorlib/System binaries. Are the references in the C# project pointing at the Silverlight DLLs?

Subject: [IronPython] Silverlight - Adding References to Assemblies

Hello all,

I'm trying to create a Silverlight project that references assemblies
I've created from IronPython code.

I can get the HTML / Javascript / XAML / IronPython combination working
ok - but I can't reference assemblies that I've compiled.

I'm using Orcas Beta 1 and have created a Silverlight project.

When I use the normal "import clr; clr.AddReference " incantation, it
fails to add the reference.

Anyone got any clues? I can see the dll being fetched from my localhost
server, but I still get an error message.

When I use 'clr.LoadAssemblyByName' instead of 'AddReference' I get a
more descriptive error, complaining that a dependency cannot be found
(the only references my assembly has or needs are System and
System.Windows.Browser):

Could not load file or assembly 'ScriptableObjects, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find
the file specified.
Source File: test.py

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file
or assembly 'ScriptableObjects, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or
one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
