Just out of curiosity: What's the process for making an ironruby port of something like Nokogiri?
I looked at a blog post<http://blog.headius.com/2010/04/nokogiri-java-port-help-us-finish-it.html>by one of the people working on the JRuby port and it looks pretty involved, but essentially, to port it you would just implement all the "attach_functions" in libxml.rb in .NET? --c On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 18:46, Tomas Matousek <tomas.matou...@microsoft.com>wrote: > Using native code in your app also requires full trust (implying it won't > work in Silverlight) and is potentially a security issue.
