For Silverlight, a custom PAL is needed to override methods like "FileExists", "LoadAssemblyFromPath", etc, since Silverlight should look inside the XAP file when anything that assumes access to the file system is used.
The fact that we have a custom PAL in Silverlight a little strange, as we should support hosting the DLR in C# Silverlight apps by just having the assembles build with Silverlight, but if you can't change the DLR code and want a different platform behavior, overriding the PAL is the way to go. ~js > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Foord > Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 1:16 PM > To: Discussion of IronPython > Subject: Re: [IronPython] Hosting API and PlatformAdaptationLayer > > What's the use case for doing this? > > Michael > > Jimmy Schementi wrote: > > The public API to do this is ScriptRuntimeSetup.HostType; an example > of using this is in Silverlight.
