You can monkey-patch the Silverlight classes you're using to do the
to_clr_string for you. For example HtmlDocument#GetElementById requires you
pass it a ClrString, which can be annoying from IronRuby. So, you can make it
take a Ruby string or symbol like this:
module System::Windows::Browser
class HtmlDocument
alias_method orig_get_element_by_id, get_element_by_id
def get_element_by_id(id)
orig_get_element_by_id(id.to_s.to_clr_string)
end
end
end
# usage
include System::Windows:Browser
element = HtmlPage.document.get_element_by_id(:foo)

Makes sense.

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.

Ah, makes sense. 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).

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.

Ok, I keep running into this over and over. 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?
Thanks
