Ironruby core - Feb 2008 - Getting the .NET type of an IronRuby class

Is there a simple way of getting the .NET type of an IronRuby class?

I have this code:

resources System::ComponentModel::ComponentResourceManager.new(X.class)

where X is a class. But this doesn''t do it - I get a run time
exception.


Any ideas?

resources = System::ComponentModel::ComponentResoruceManager.new( X.GetType)

or if you''d rather:

require ''mscorlib''

def typeof(object)
    System::Type.GetTypeFromHandle(System::Type.GetTypeHandle(object))
end

Thanks! Yes, it''s obvious: I think I''ve got trouble switching
beteen
thinking in Ruby and thinking in .NET ...

We are evaluating IronRuby and/or IronPython to use as event handling
script language in a WPF / XAML GUI project.

Our current XAML / C# design has the regular VS2008 -generated logic of
creating custom class (and enbedded BAML) for each XAML-file. We also
use heavily custom controls to build up larger panels / windows:

MyControl.xaml:

<UserControl xaml:class="MyControl">
...
</UserControl>

Window1.xaml:

<Window xaml:class="Window1">
	...
	<Button>...</Button>
	...
	<MyControl>
	</MyConrol>
	...
</Windows>


While I have been able to attach event handlers defined in IronPython
2.0 to the various GUI classes, I would find it more natural if I could
derive classes in Ruby from the corresponding CLR-classes:


class MyControlRuby < MyControl

	def Clicked(sender, args)
		...
	end


However, I suspect that re-using such classes on the XAML-side would not
work:


<Window xaml:class="Window1">
	...
	<Button>...</Button>
	...
	<MyControlRuby>
	</MyConrolRuby>
	...
</Windows>
 

Can someone confirm or deny my assumption about XAML being
not-so-DLR-language-friendly here as I suppose?

Might this approach have better changes of success if I would use
IronPython 1.1 that can supposedly compile Python classes to CLR
classes?
