Hi Rmacias,
Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
As for the runtime script engine in .NET, as far as I know, VBA is not
buildin scripting mechanism in .NETand we may need to use COM interop to
communicate with it. As for pure .NET runtime scripting support, I have
found the following namespace which contains some components and interfaces
for runtime script parsing and execution:
#Microsoft.Vsa Namespace
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/
frlrfmicrosoftvsa.asp
#Script Happens .NET
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...g06112001.asp?
frame=true
This scripting namespace provide runtime script intefaces which is
different from the System.Reflection namespace's components which
dynamically compiled and executing .net assembly(MSIL).
Hope helps. Thanks,
Steven Cheng

| I am maintaining an application that was writting in VB6 and has VBA 6.2
| integrated into it. The VBA SDK allows the users of the application to
| generate VBA projects and scripts to gain access to the application and
| perform product specific functions. This provides maximum flexiability
for
| our users.
|
| We are about to convert this application into .NET. In doing some proof
of
| concepts, we were able to integrate VBA 6.4 into a .NET application.
| However, we are wary of staying with VBA. It appears that Microsoft and
| Summit Software don't take the VBA SDK seriously as both of their
websites
| still advertise the "NEW VBA SDK 6.3" (the current version is 6.4)
|
| My question is there some sort of equivalent to VBA in .NET? I did a
little
| research and found Visual Studio for Applications (VSA), but that project
| appears to have been abonded. I am aware of the namespaces that allow us
to
| read, compile, and execute .NET code at runtime, but this does not
satisfy
| our requirements. We need a fully functional IDE with debug capability
(just
| like VBA).
|
| Is there anything out there that will integrate ".NET Scripting" into an
| application with an IDE that has debugging capability? Sort of like a
..NET
| version of the VBA SDK.
|
| Thanks!
