It’s alive and it’s real:

This second release of my RubyCLR bridge contains a non-trivial Windows Forms 2.0 application written entirely in Ruby. If you don’t want to download the entire drop, you can click here to look at the source.

If you thought you’ve seen this application before, you’re right – it’s a partial port of Joe Stegman’s RSS Reader application that was designed to show off some of the more interesting features of Windows Forms 2.0.

I’m pretty sure I could have finished porting the rest of the app, but I think I ported enough of it to demonstrate that you can actually use this drop to build a real app.

There are now 106 tests and 165 assertions in the unit test suite. They all pass.

This build now contains release builds of RbDynamicMethod.dll and RubyClrTests.dll, so it should run on any computer that has Ruby 1.8.2 and .NET Frameworks 2.0 RTM installed.

Get the bits here.

Enjoy.
