Class ScriptingManager

Encapsulates a script, script site, and script engine as a single component.

Inheritance

System.Object

ScriptingManager

ScriptManagerEx

Namespace: Syncfusion.Scripting

Assembly: Syncfusion.Scripting.Base.dll

Syntax

public class ScriptingManager : Component

Remarks

This class provides a convenient wrapper around a script, script site, and script engine. It can be added to a form using the toolbox and configured using the property editor.

The ScriptingManager creates the ScriptSite and Script objects by calling the virtual CreateScriptSite() and CreateScript() methods, respectively. These methods can be overriden in derived ScriptingManager classes in order to create custom Script and ScriptSite objects. After creating the ScriptSite and Script, the ScriptingManager attaches these objects to the ScriptSite and Script properties, respectively. Another way to attach a custom ScriptSite or Script to the ScriptingManager is to pass them to one of the overloaded constructors.

The ScriptEngine is created by the ScriptEngineFactory based on the value of the property.

The LoadScript(String) method is used to load the script source code. Once the script is loaded, the

CompileScript() method can be called to compile the script.

CompileScript() method can be called to compile the script.

ScriptSite	scriptSite	Script site to attach
Script	script	Script to attach

Properties

ApplicationBase

Sets the root folder where non-system assemblies are located.

Declaration

public string ApplicationBase { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

IsScriptCompiled

Indicates if the script has been loaded and compiled in the script engine.

Declaration

public bool IsScriptCompiled { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

IsScriptRunning

Indicates if the script engine is currently running the script.

Declaration

public bool IsScriptRunning { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

NeedToCompile

Indicates if the script needs to be compiled.

Declaration

public bool NeedToCompile { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Script

Script to load into the. ScriptEngine.

Declaration

public Script Script { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Script

ScriptEngine

The ScriptEngine compiles and executes the script.

Declaration

public IVsaEngine ScriptEngine { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Microsoft.Vsa.IVsaEngine

Remarks

Each language uses a different ScriptEngine. The ScriptEngineFactory creates the appropriate ScriptEngine for a given language. New or alternate ScriptEngines can be registered with the ScriptEngineFactory.

ScriptSite

The ScriptSite provides for host-implemented callbacks, describes interaction between the engine and the host's object model, and allows the reporting of compilation errors.

Declaration

public ScriptSite ScriptSite { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ScriptSite

Methods

ClearScriptSite()

Removes all event sources, global instances, and compiled code from the site.

Declaration

public void ClearScriptSite()

CloseScriptEngine()

Closes the script engine and releases all resources. If the script engine is currently running, the IVsaEngine.Reset method is called first.

Declaration

public void CloseScriptEngine()

CompileScript()

Compiles the script loaded in the ScriptEngine.

Declaration

public bool CompileScript()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if successful; otherwise false

Remarks

The OnCompileError(VsaErrorEventArgs) method is called if an error occurs during compilation.

CreateScript()

Creates the Script to attach to the ScriptingManager.

Declaration

protected virtual Script CreateScript()

Returns

Type	Description
Script	Script object

CreateScriptEngine()

Creates a new instance of the ScriptEngine and loads the script into it.

Declaration

protected virtual bool CreateScriptEngine()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if successful; otherwise false

CreateScriptSite()

Creates the ScriptSite to attach to the ScriptingManager.

Declaration

protected virtual ScriptSite CreateScriptSite()

Returns

Type	Description
ScriptSite	ScriptSite object

Init()

Initializes the ScriptingManager

Declaration

protected virtual void Init()

Remarks

This method calls the CreateScriptSite() and CreateScript() methods and attaches the ScriptSite and Script to the ScriptingManager. If the ScriptingManager already has a ScriptSite attached, then a new one is not created. The same is true of the Script.

InvokeScriptMethod(String)

Declaration

public object InvokeScriptMethod(string methodName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	methodName	Name of method to invoke

Returns
