Hi Donnal. I am also new to IronPython but have spent about a month with the library. IronPython is written in C# so you may use it in Visual C# 2005. I believe you may also use it in VB 2005 Express if you reference the dll files as COM objects. But I haven't tested it in VB so you may not want to rely on my word. There is a Studio Solution file included with IronPython so you can rebuild it in Visual C# 2005 if you need to, or just browse the classes. For what I was working on, I decided not to use the console interface and to make things somewhat easier for myself I developed a TextBox based control that attempt to simulate a console. I just posted an article and the source project files are available here: http://codeproject.com/useritems/irontextbox.asp I had to stop development on that control a little shorter than I would have liked, because of time constrants, but its good enough for some users to play around with. -- Joseph _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
