Scripting engine in my .NET app

[JLuis Estrada]

Is there some class or engine in the .NET framework capable to manage (or
run) script code (like VB script) embedded in my app????

Thats because I have an APP that grows very fast, and one of the
requeriments its the abilyto to add new processing based in some numbers. (I
mean, if I get a 101, then I have to check some tables in a DB, If I get a
102z, then I need to check in some others tables and do some other
validation).
Due this requeriment, I was thinking in use some kind of script to do that.
Based on this, I only will need a folder and text files with the script
writted with in. And then, when I get the number, the app will load the file
and run the script.

Is this possible??

You can write your script in c# or vb.net and have it in your own
directory. load the file when it required and compile it at runtime and
execute it in .net itself. Dig CSharpCodeProvider class.

Probably you can use this

your solutions sounds good, but I need to carry on a COM object, and you
should know more about it than me, its very awful to handle with it.

but tnx any way

Sounds good, let me check it.

Hello JLuis,

I would suggest a plugin based approach rather than a scripting approach.
Once you define a course of action for a particular number that action seems
like it would be fixed.. which is reflected in the nature of a plugin.. however
a script lends itsself to constant editing and tweaking.. even complete rewrites..
which doesnt really reflect a fixed course of action.
