Ironruby core - Nov 2008 - ScriptScope.SetVariable - pass in a function

Hi,

I''d like do something like this:

public void AddFunction() {
    aScriptScope.SetVariable("my_function",
(Action<string>)MyFunction);
}

public void MyFunction(string value) {
    // do stuff!
}

Currently if I execute a script like "my_function
''hello!''" or
"my_function(''hello!'')" I get:

ArgumentException: wrong number or type of arguments for `my_function''

Ideas? If I can, I''d like to declare the class which contains these
methods ''internal''.

Thanks so much!

Try my_function.invoke(''hello!''). Ruby doesn''t have
first class methods.
For convenience we can monkey-patch Delegate to mimic procs (add [], call
methods).

Correction: Methods are first-class, they just can''t be invoked from
their objects with ().
