Hi, Some assemblies are loaded by default an can be used directly. But like IronPython, you will need to *explicitly* load most assemblies to be imported into your program. This differs from C# which does it "under the hood". The Assemblies can be loaded from the GAC or from a dll if it is not loaded/referenced by default. For example, as System.Console is loaded by default you can directly use:
(System.Console/WriteLine "Clo[sjz]ure") However, the System.Windows.Forms assembly is not loaded by default. So you would need: (System.Reflection.Assembly/LoadWithPartialName "System.Windows.Forms") or (System.Reflection.Assembly/Load "System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089") You can then import the MessageBox class (import '(System.Windows.Forms MessageBox)) (MessageBox/Show "Clo[sjz]ure") Regards, Iwan On Feb 24, 12:26 am, adam11235 <adam.k.web...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm unsure of how to get clojure-clr to reference assemblies that a > program needs. > > I can successfully get this to show a message box via the REPL: > > (System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox/Show "hello world") > > I can successfully save this to a file, add the file as a command-line > arg inside VisualStudio and run the Clojure.Main project which takes > the cmd line arg, correctly loads and executes the code > > However if I save that to a file and then try the following (from the > command line, outside of VS, I get an exception: > > pathTo\Clojure\Clojure.Main\bin\debug\Clojure.Main.Exe c:\clj > \helloworld.clj > > I have also changed the contents of the file to the following, still > with no success: > > 1) > (import '(System.Windows.Forms MessageBox )) > (MessageBox/Show "hello world") > > 2) > (import '(System.Windows.Forms MessageBox )) > (System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox/Show "hello world") > > Any hints? > > Thanks, Adam. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
