Does anyone know if there’s a way to execute C# code directly from the SDK?
Currently I’m using MXS as an interop, sending a script from SDK to MXS, and then having MXS execute the C# and return any compiler warnings/errors/etc.
Is there a more direct way of doing this?
Imagine I want to execute the following C# code:
float f = Math.Abs(-1.0f);and have the value pass back to C++. Is it possible? I know how to do it with MXS, but I want to cut out the middleman.
in project settings you have to have General::Common Language Runtime Support set to Common Language Runtime Support (/clr)
then you can use stuff like
#using <System.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Net;
using namespace System::Text;
using namespace msclr::interop;
at the top of the file, any includes
#includes<msclr\.......>
it can look quite funky in a cpp file…
WebRequest^ request = WebRequest::Create(marshal_as<String^>(url));
marshal_context^ context = gcnew marshal_context();
string* result = new string(context->marshal_as<const char*>(responseFromServer));
theres also a couple of pragmas too
#pragma unmanaged
#pragma managed
though it does beg the question what’s in the c# runtime that not in cpp runtime,? I’m sure I saw some absolute functions last time i looked
Thanks Klvnk, I’ll look further into that
