when you do require 'MyAssembly.dll' ironruby looks in it's search paths to see if it can find the file in one of those locations. If it exists it will just load the file with Assembly.LoadFromPath
Not much magic You may have to change the trust level in your .net security configuration to allow network locations but that counts for other .NET stuff too. --- Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto Carrero Blog: http://flanders.co.nz Google Wave: portocarrero.i...@googlewave.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/casualjim Author of IronRuby in Action (http://manning.com/carrero) On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Gordon Marsh <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have just got IronRuby up and running.
