C++ and C# scripts... I don't get it

[dVizard]

Well, I am writing a small game in C++, and I will need scripting support in future, but the last thing I want to do is to port the whole thing to C#, because, uhm, C# sucks. BUT C# has CodeDom. Now I have seen your emu uses C# for scripts but is written in C++ and I have looked at the code a bit, but I don't understand how it's done. Could you please explain this to me?
Apparently the scripts seem to be able to use the commands specified in ScriptInterface.h/cpp (or am I completely wrong? ) but neither do I see any reference to this in ScriptMgr nor do I understand how a (compiled) script dll included in the c++ project can access functions from this project...

The reason the scripts have access to classes and data within the emulator is because all classes that are exposed to the scripts are written in managed C++ inside of gameserver.dll. When the scripts get compiled they use gameserver.dll as a reference assembly. .NET takes care of the rest =)

Does this already work in C++6 or do I need C++ .NET to do this?

You need VS.NET ... because only VS.NET supports managed extensions to C++.
