[IronPython] Fwd: Ironpython delegates...

[Dino Viehland]

Any delegate should work for this so I'd suggest Func<object> instead.

Hi Dino,

Thanks for your reply...

I had to synchronize threads in order to avoid cross-threading operations. I have Ironpython hosted on an aplication with plugins, every time I accessed some form control ( Plugin Form Designer ) I got a cross-thread error, so I needed to invoke that instance.
CallTarget solved my problem... Do you know any other methodology that works better then CallTarget?

Thank you,
António Piteira

Depending on what you're doing you might be better off using Func<object> instead of CallTarget0.  CallTarget0 is more of a Python implementation detail and could change w/ major IronPython versions - or even be replaced w/ Func<object>.  it's primary purpose is to be the delegate for calling a zero-arg Python function so it could change due to changes in how we implement functions.  Func<object> will always exist and do exactly what it says.  Of course if you are actually doing something w/ calling classes or functions then it's the right thing to use.

Found the solution...



clr.AddReference("Ironpython")

from IronPython.Compiler import CallTarget0



I was looking in the wrong place.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've been searching for CallTarget0 and from what I read it should be in Microsoft.Scripting.dll, but when I add the reference to clr and import CallTarget0  from Microsoft.Scripting.dll I get this message:



---------------------------

Error...

---------------------------

Cannot import name CallTarget0

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------



Any ideas?



Thank you.
