Question
An extension of my previous thread here.
I'm launching embedded resource applications via Reflection and I'm unsure whether I can use AutoIt (.au3
) files or not. People say it needs to be "Managed Code". I'm not completely sure what that means nor do I know if AutoIt has that characteristic.
Solution
Managed code is that which runs under the .NET CLR. AutoIt is not managed code.
OTHER TIPS
AutoIt is an interpreted language, so even if you embed a script inside another, it will be visible to anyone if you don't "obfuscate" the code somehow (like xor encryption for instance)
See this definition of managed code.
I doubt that AutoIt is managed code. I was under the impression that it was simply run through an interpreter.
You're asking whether AutoIT scripts are .Net assemblies.
I'm pretty sure they aren't.
