Hi Chris,
I believe there is an example in the Tutorials section in Iron Python.

Hello all,

I’m working on embedding IronPython into a larger C# application to allow
end-users the ability to write scripts.  One thing I want to do is provide
a set of icon resources in the C# code and expose them to IronPython so a
user can access them.  I created a new Resource.resx file called
“PublicResources” in my C# application.  This creates a class called
“PublicResources” that contains a set of static methods to access the
resources in a type-safe way.  Although I can expose the underlying
ResourceManager instance to IP, what I really want is the class
PublicResources exposed so I can us it in my IronPython code.

For example, in C# I would say:

Form myForm = new Form();
myForm.Icon = PublicResources.MyFormIcon;


and in IronPython, I want to say:

myForm = Form()
myForm.Icon = PublicResources.MyFormIcon

So, I guess this boils down to “how do I expose static classes from C# to
IronPython?”

(On a side note, if anyone knows where there is some documentation on the
proper way to expose .NET class to IronPython I would appreciate it.
Currently I’m creating a new module with PythonEngine.CreateModule(),
adding objects to the Globals, and importing it using
PythonEngine.Import()…but I have no idea if that is the right way to do
it.)

Thanks a lot for any help.

Chris.
