Instantiating custom C# classes from IronPython

Question

Is there any way to make a class available to IronPython scripts so that I can create objects inside the code?

For example, if I have a class that I want to be able to instantiate from the script called MyClass defined in the C# code like so:

public class MyClass
{
    string text;

    public MyClass(string text)
    {
        this.text = text;
    }

    public void Write()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(text);
    }
}

How can I do this in the Python script?

obj = MyClass("Hello, World!")
obj.Write()

Thanks!

Assuming MyClass is in MyAssembly.dll:

import clr
clr.AddReference('MyAssembly.dll')
import MyClass
obj = MyClass("Hello, World!")
obj.Write()

Thanks! I'll have to do some magic to make it work but it will :)

For me works as clr.AddReference('MyAssembly') - without .dll

AddReference didn't work for me but AddReferenceToFileAndPath did (I used absolute paths). If have an exe then check our this page how to build a dll: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tutorials/…
