[Ironruby-core] Accessing IronRuby method from C#

Greetings to the mighty IronRuby experts from a humble developer! :-)

I am testing the latest CVS snapshot (v. 73, downloaded an hour ago) of
IronRuby.

We are evaluating IronRuby for possible usage in WPF project. 

First, I want to test a simple case of defining a method in Ruby and
calling the method later from C#.

Below I copy a test program that tries this in two ways (methods
AccessMethod1 and AccessMethod2). 
Both attempts fail with exceptions that are written as comments in the
code.

I understand that the DLR and IronRuby are in a flux at the moment but I
still suppose there must be some working way to perform such trivial
interop task...?

Thanks in advance!

[Ironruby-core] Accessing IronRuby method from C#

Today we don''t support unbound methods yet (what you are trying to do
via the call to the method function). If you want first class functions,
Proc.new and lambda work just fine today.

I''ll let Tomas chime in on AccessMethod2().

Thanks,

[Ironruby-core] Accessing IronRuby method from C#

Thanks John for your reply!
 
Still not getting my method calls to work from C# with lambda either:
 
[TestMethod]
public void AccessMethod3()
{
    ExecuteString(@"
        $m = lambda do |par|
            puts ''Hello from lambda: '' + par
        end
    ");
    Proc m = (Proc) GetGlobalVar("m"); // OK
    Operations.Call(m, "abc"); // InvalidCast: Cannot cast Proc to
BlockParam
    Delegate1 d = Operations.ConvertTo<Delegate1>(m); // OK
    d("abc"); // InvalidCast: Cannot cast Proc to BlockParam
}
