Yes, that was VS 2008. Unfortunately the demo contained some unreleased
features so I couldn't publish the code. But the idea was simple - an
addin-manager (C#) that hosts DLR and allows ruby scripts to create and handle
menu commands:
require 'rubyaddin'
class TestRunnerAddin < RubyAddin
set_command_label "Run Test"
set_command_tooltip "Run selected test"
set_command_menu "Code Window"
def self.execute()
ctx = get_vs_context()
file = ctx.ActiveDocument
...
end
end
But then to make something useful you still need to cope with EnvDTE (which was
provided as part of context).

Na, that was definitely VS 2008. We just had our VS ninja Oleg write a VS
extension that hosts the DLR, so Ruby code could control VS. But beats me if I
know where that VS extension is.

Ivan,
The RubyConf2008 talk? It's on
confreaks:http://rubyconf2008.confreaks.com/ironruby.html
I'm pretty sure it's using the new managed API for VS2010.. EnvDTE is
painfull...

Hi
A while ago I remeber seeing a screencast where John Lam shows how to use
ironruby to automate visual studio.
I can't find the screencast anymore but I would be interested to know which API
was used. Was that just using EnvDTE ?
I'm asking because at work we are using GAT to automate visual studio and to
create a kind of software factory (without the visual designers)
When it comes to developing with GAT I think most of us will agree that there
are more pleasant ways to develop and debug your work.
So I may get the chance to get them to use IronRuby for some of that stuff as
long as we can hide from the use case/LOB developers.
Using GAT for us is a hazard to make our sprints. Most of our story points for
example go into GAT development and debugging, granted that we do make it do
some crazy stuff too.
Thanks
