Run VBScript using C#

Question

I am trying to execute a script written in VBScript, in a C# class library project

using System.Web.UI;  //reference added at top

MSScriptControl script = new ScriptControl();
script.Language = "VBScript";
script.AddObject("Repository", connectToDB.GetRepository);

I get the following compilation error:

Error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MSScriptControl' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Any ideas?

are they under the same namespace? or did you add reference correctly? — iJay, Jul 23 '14 at 12:19
@IJ, I added it correctly - just wanted to clarify that the reference was added. Any ideas? — user3165438, Jul 24 '14 at 07:08

I belive

MSScriptControl script = new ScriptControl();

should be

MSScriptControl.ScriptControl sc = new MSScriptControl.ScriptControl();

Add a COM reference of "Microsoft Script Control 1.0" to your project.
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

Use this code:

MSScriptControl.ScriptControl script = new MSScriptControl.ScriptControl();
script.Language = "VBScript";
script.AddObject("Repository", connectToDB.GetRepository);
