Hi
I have some ruby code, which through a process of instance_eval and other
meta programming tricks builds an object with a method assign defined on it.


I have this code in C#

*var scope = Engine.CreateScope();*
*scope.SetVariable("ctxt", this);*
*Engine.ExecuteFile("rubyfile.rb", scope);*

This code correctly sets a something property on this (linked with ctxt)
but when I then want to call a method on it that should exist

*public dynamic Something  { get; set; }*

*Something.assign("ivan")*

Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException:
'Iro
nRuby.Builtins.RubyObject' does not contain a definition for 'assign'
   at CallSite.Target(Closure , CallSite , Object , String )
   at System.Dynamic.UpdateDelegates.UpdateAndExecuteVoid2[T0,T1](CallSite
site,
 T0 arg0, T1 arg1)
   at BugTracker_40.Bug.Assign(String assignee) in
C:\dev\ironruby-in-action\Sam
ples\BugTracker_40\BugTracker_40\Bug.cs:line 60
   at BugTracker_40.Program.Main(String[] args) in
C:\dev\ironruby-in-action\Sam
ples\BugTracker_40\BugTracker_40\Program.cs:line 13


However the same code with:

var _rubyOperations = Engine.CreateOperations()
public object Something  { get; set; }
_rubyOperations.InvokeMember(Something, "assign", "ivan")

does work.

The question is why? Is this the expected behavior? Am I missing an assembly
reference (it has Ironruby.*, Microsoft.Scripting,
Microsoft.Scripting.Core)
