i'm hosting IronPython Scripts in one Silverlight Application and i want to run the script and get one System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock object.

so i use this ironPython code: 

import clr
clr.AddReferenceByName("System.Windows.Controls, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35")

from System.Windows.Controls import * 

tb = TextBlock()

i'm being able to add the reference, but, when i import System.Windows.Controls i get a System.NotImplementedException.

The same happens if i try with "import wpf"

i'm using Silverlight 4 and IronPython 2.7.1 beta2 and this is the code to run the script:

Dim engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateEngine
Dim scope = engine.CreateScope()

Dim source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(CodeTB.Text)

source.Execute(scope)
ResultLB.Items.Add(scope.GetVariable("hello"))

If scope.ContainsVariable("tb") Then
    GuiStack.Children.Add(scope.GetVariable("tb"))
End If

Here is the Stack Trace of the exception:

And here is the all the source code

Thankyou for everything :)

It should work without any AddReference:

import clr
from System.Windows.Controls import TextBlock
tb = TextBlock()

  • yes, i've tried, but then i got an IOException, the message says: "Could not add reference to assembly System.Windows.Controls" – Victor Aug 20 '11 at 16:11
  • OK, I've just tried it and there is no need to add reference for `TextBlock`. It would be necessary for Silverlight Toolkit controls and then you need to include toolkit's .dll in your .xap file. – Lukas Cenovsky Aug 21 '11 at 09:56
  • I got the same NotImplementedException, i tried with versions 2.7 and 2.6.2 but happens the same. – Victor Aug 22 '11 at 17:33
  • I suggest starting with the source generated by `IronPython-2.7\Silverlight\script\sl.bat python test`. It worked for me. Which reminds me - do you use special Silverlight .dlls, don't you? – Lukas Cenovsky Aug 22 '11 at 19:30
  • yes =p i use the Silverlight dlls. i tried the test app, but i can't see anything in the browser. – Victor Aug 22 '11 at 21:19
  • How do you test it in browser? What anything do you see? – Lukas Cenovsky Aug 22 '11 at 21:58
  • Sorry, i've forgot generate the .xap file, i tried with Chiron.exe but i get "Error occurred creating the configuration section handler for for Languages: Request failed". By the way, i tried mi project in another computer, but i received the NotImplementedException, also noted that at debug, the property SourceUnit from source variable haves: "The '?' character cannot be used here.", but i don't know if that's important. – Victor Aug 23 '11 at 04:50
  • Any code that does not uses from `System.Windows.Controls import <...>` works fine. – Victor Aug 23 '11 at 04:51
  • Looks like your source file encoding is wrong. Put somewhere all your source files and I check it. – Lukas Cenovsky Aug 23 '11 at 07:02
  • Unfortunately, I will not have time to look more thoroughly to your code and I am not so familiar with VB but it seems to me your IronPython hosting in Silverlight is wrong.

Thank You, Lukas, the article was very helpful, now the problem is fixed. Here's my new source code

Dim setup As ScriptRuntimeSetup = Python.CreateRuntimeSetup(Nothing)
setup.HostType = GetType(Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight.BrowserScriptHost)

Dim runtime As New ScriptRuntime(setup)


Dim engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.GetEngine(runtime)

Dim scope = engine.CreateScope()

Dim uri As New Uri("System.Windows.Controls.dll", UriKind.Relative)
Dim sri As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(uri)

Dim ap As New AssemblyPart
Dim asm As Assembly = ap.Load(sri.Stream)
runtime.LoadAssembly(asm)

Dim assamblies As String() = {"mscorlib", "System", "System.Windows", "System.Windows.Browser", "System.Net"}

For Each item In assamblies
  runtime.LoadAssembly(runtime.Host.PlatformAdaptationLayer.LoadAssembly(item))
Next

Dim source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(CodeTB.Text, Microsoft.Scripting.SourceCodeKind.Statements)

source.Execute(scope)
ResultLB.Items.Add(scope.GetVariable("hello"))

If scope.ContainsVariable("tb") Then
    GuiStack.Children.Add(scope.GetVariable("tb"))
End If
