I'm trying to implement a new functionality in my application.

The idea is to have a string in the application which is passed to a javascript script and then getting back.

For example :

string str = "foo";
str = RUN_JAVASCRIPT(str);
Console.WriteLine(str);

RUN_JAVASCRIPT call a .js file, passing str as argument and retrieve the updated string as result.

Jint do the work well but i need to not use external dll. I'm trying to use WScript but i haven't found a way to get the value back.

Any ideas ?

Why can't you use an external library? – wsanville Mar 12 '12 at 13:34
Why are you doing this? There may be a better option out there. – Oded Mar 12 '12 at 13:36
@wsanville: because it's one of the project constraints – Guillaume Mar 12 '12 at 13:37
The Microsoft Scripting Control COM object can do exactly that, what's wrong with referencing it? - what about late binding? – Alex K. Mar 12 '12 at 13:37
@Oded: the idea behind this is to allow users to edit the string without having to compile again – Guillaume Mar 12 '12 at 13:37
Edit a string that does _what_? You have not explained why you need such a feature. – Oded Mar 12 '12 at 13:40
