Every Ruby class is not mapped to a unique CLR type (they are all IronRuby.Builtins.RubyObject unless you subclass a CLR type or implement and interface). So doing the IronPython ClrMetaClass equivalent would require a speciic feature in IronRuby to give more control of the underlying CLR type -- IronPython has already added this in the form of "__clrtype__".
This work is not planned for 1.0, but definitely leaves a usability hole in our CLR integration. The work-around is to create a empty C# class, and then subclass it from Ruby -- there will be a unique CLR class generated for this Ruby class. Things like CLR attributes need to go on the C# class. ~Jimmy Sent from my phone On Nov 29, 2009, at 4:07 AM, "Ivan Porto Carrero" <i...@flanders.co.nz<mailto:i...@flanders.co.nz>> wrote: Hi I'd like to get the runtime type of a ruby class The IronPython guys can do something like this (python substituted for ruby) require 'clr' class Person < Struct.new(:id, :name, :age) end they can then do clr.ClrType(Person).FullName Something equivalent to that doesn't exist yet for ironruby does it?
