ExtendedHostFunctionslib(String) Method

Imports types from one or more host assemblies.

Namespace: Microsoft.ClearScript
Assembly: ClearScript.Core (in ClearScript.Core.dll) Version: 7.4.5

Syntax

public HostTypeCollection lib(
	params string[] assemblyNames
)

Public Function lib ( 
	ParamArray assemblyNames As String()
) As HostTypeCollection

public:
HostTypeCollection^ lib(
	... array<String^>^ assemblyNames
)

member lib : 
        assemblyNames : string[] -> HostTypeCollection

Parameters

assemblyNames String: The names of the assemblies that contain the types to import.

Return Value

HostTypeCollection
The imported host type collection.

Remarks

Host type collections provide convenient scriptable access to all the types defined in one or more host assemblies. They are hierarchical collections where leaf nodes represent types and parent nodes represent namespaces. For example, if an assembly contains a type named "Acme.Gadgets.Button", the corresponding collection will have a property named "Acme" whose value is an object with a property named "Gadgets" whose value is an object with a property named "Button" whose value represents the Acme.Gadgets.Button host type.

Example

The following code imports types from several core assemblies and uses Enumerable to create an array of integers. It assumes that an instance of ExtendedHostFunctions is exposed under the name "host" (see AddHostObject).

JavaScript

Copy

var clr = host.lib("mscorlib", "System", "System.Core");
var array = clr.System.Linq.Enumerable.Range(0, 5).ToArray();
