Getting data out form a script to the C# that ran it

tzumer

I'd like to use data generated by a scirpt in the C# code that compiled and ran it, like this:

   LINQPad.ObjectModel.QueryCompilation compiledScript = LINQPadUtil.Compile("SomeScript.linq");
   LINQPad.ObjectModel.QueryExecuter exec = 
   CompiledScript.Run(LINQPad.QueryResultFormat.Text);
   exec.Wait();
   // Here I want to use data generated in the script - what's the best way to do this?

If you want to use the script's output, i.e., what it dumped, use exec.AsString().

If you want to use the script's return value, i.e.:

string Main()
{
	return "hello, world";
}

then use exec.ReturnValue.

Fantabulous !

Another question,
What about runtime info from the script, such as
int Progress;
?

JoeAlbahari

That's not possible - it doesn't provide any mechanism to communicate with the script while in progress.

in LINQPad6 then?
