[Mono-dev] DLR with Mono.CSharp.Evaluator: The predefined type Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.Binder' is not defined or imported

[Bartosz Przygoda]

Hi,

I will prepare small repro: minimal host + mono libs I use(my app doesn't
use full installation), and we will check it out further.

Hello,

I'm currently implementing REPL functionality in my app that embeds mono

>         eval.ReferenceAssembly(typeof(REPL).Assembly);

This is strange, are you embedding correct runtime version (4.0) ?

I have tried to cook full sample based on your code and it works without
error for me as a standalone app.

using System;
using System.Dynamic;
using Mono.CSharp;

public class Foo : DynamicObject
{
    public override bool TryGetMember(GetMemberBinder binder, out object
result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("called");
        result = 5;
        return true;
    }
}

class C
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var settings = new CompilerSettings();
        var printer = new ConsoleReportPrinter();
        var eval = new Evaluator(new CompilerContext(settings, printer));
        eval.ReferenceAssembly(typeof(Foo).Assembly);
        eval.Run("using System;");
        eval.Run("dynamic f = new Foo();");
        eval.Run("f.Whatever;");
    }
}
