The binder could automatically create a conversion - in effect, calling to_clr_string for you automatically. But it might be a little strange for the binder to do that automatically in one direction and not the other - which is why I said that there needs to be a plan before we make any changes.

I'm totally unfamiliar with the way IronRuby is implemented. Is it possible to switch it to a clr string any time it calls any framework code? (like the invoke function I'm using). ~sean On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 10:33 AM, Curt Hagenlocher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: This isn't a Silverlight issue but an IronRuby one. A Ruby string simply isn't the same as a CLR string - the Ruby string is mutable while the CLR string is not. We need to come up with a cohesive plan for dealing with the difference before we can "fix" anything.

Whenever Silverlight passes a string to javascript, it comes out as some unreadable object. You have to call to_clr_string to get it working. This is ok... You can monkey patch some of the javascript library code to fix it, but with HtmlPage.window.invoke, for example, it's not easy to do because it sends a variable number of arguments. Is this being fixed? Or is this something we're going to have to deal with for a while?
