I'm just wondering... We've got a great platform since .NET started. Stable
and reliable execution environment is pretty much in our hand. Now I wonder
about Scripting world. It seems that MS hasn't spent much of effort in the
scripting world. What do we expect in the future? Do we stick with Script
Engine 5.6 for a long time

Good question, now that vsa is dead in VS 2005, things are up in the air at
the moment. I will be implementing scripting in my application soon and I
don't intend using unmanaged code! So it looks like CodeDOM for me, which
appears to be very powerful, but of course no IDE for the user!

I'm surprised that vsa is now dead, there seems so little info regarding
this matter from Microsoft. I've only been programming for 6 months now and
I can't tell you how confusing the whole situation is!

Hello Julian,
Hmm... That's interesting. One of the application that I worked on has Script
Engine implemented. It uses Script Engine that allows user to write VBScript
within our application. CodeDOM may be a little challenge for you if you
have only programmed for the last 6 months, but it's certainly an interesting
challenge.

As for editor, you may want to take a look at this product.

It's pretty amazing how much they offer for text editing control. This free
tool Snippet Compiler uses their control.

Good luck!

Hi, thank you for your reply. The Links were very very interesting, just to
see what is possible is exciting for me!

Yes CodeDOM will be a challenge for me, but I won't be using it for code
generation just a tidier way to access the vbc.exe compiler that is
installed with the .net Framework. This all seems to good to be true!
Interesting times ahead.

Julian
