scripting with c# desktop application

Question

I have a C# desktop application which supports new C# plugins.

I want to change existing C# application capable of accepting scripts as plugin.

Scripts may be a JavaScript,Windows script Host (WSh) or any script. (It must be a plugin and want to compile and run at run-time)

I want to know whether C# has script compile and run functionality. If you know any supporting dll, good links or helpfull projects, please let me know.

Have a look at javascriptdotnet.codeplex.com - using V8 will certainly be more comfortable for experienced JS developers than the WSH JScript implementation. — ThiefMaster

From the CS-Script homepage:

"CS-Script is a CLR (Common Language Runtime) based scripting system which uses ECMA-compliant C# as a programming language. CS-Script currently targets Microsoft implementation of CLR (.NET 2.0/3.0/3.5/4.0) with full support on Mono."

Plus, it's open source too!

Another option would be to implement IronPython.

Take a look at Dynamic Language Runtime, which allows you to embed languages like IronPython and IronRuby in your program.

Here is a webpage about how to embed IronPython in a C# program.

C# doesn't have inbuilt compilers for JavaScript or any other script, You have to attach your own compiler with your application and invoke that at runtime.
