The big concern is the lack of Reflection.Emit support in Metro, and whether enough of the DLR is included in the Metro profile to not need it. It does mean that ctypes won't work, but I'm not sure what else without doing a deeper look. If we need a C# hosting stub, that's fine, and easy enough to provide. If you and Dino would be so kind as to bake it into PTVS, that'd be icing on the cake :). - Jeff _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
