NotImplementedException in Silverlight and IronPython

Question

i'm hosting IronPython Scripts in one Silverlight Application and i want to run the script and get one System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock object.

so i use this ironPython code:

import clr
clr.AddReferenceByName("System.Windows.Controls, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35")

from System.Windows.Controls import * 

tb = TextBlock()

i'm being able to add the reference, but, when i import System.Windows.Controls i get a System.NotImplementedException.

The same happens if i try with "import wpf"

i'm using Silverlight 4 and IronPython 2.7.1 beta2 and this is the code to run the script:

Dim engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateEngine
Dim scope = engine.CreateScope()

Dim source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(CodeTB.Text)

source.Execute(scope)
ResultLB.Items.Add(scope.GetVariable("hello"))

If scope.ContainsVariable("tb") Then
    GuiStack.Children.Add(scope.GetVariable("tb"))
End If

Here is the Stack Trace of the exception:

And here is the all the source code

Thankyou for everything :)

Answer 1

Thank You, Lukas, the article was very helpful, now the problem is fixed. Here's my new source code

Dim setup As ScriptRuntimeSetup = Python.CreateRuntimeSetup(Nothing)
setup.HostType = GetType(Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight.BrowserScriptHost)

Dim runtime As New ScriptRuntime(setup)


Dim engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.GetEngine(runtime)

Dim scope = engine.CreateScope()

Dim uri As New Uri("System.Windows.Controls.dll", UriKind.Relative)
Dim sri As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(uri)

Dim ap As New AssemblyPart
Dim asm As Assembly = ap.Load(sri.Stream)
runtime.LoadAssembly(asm)

Dim assamblies As String() = {"mscorlib", "System", "System.Windows", "System.Windows.Browser", "System.Net"}

For Each item In assamblies
  runtime.LoadAssembly(runtime.Host.PlatformAdaptationLayer.LoadAssembly(item))
Next

Dim source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(CodeTB.Text, Microsoft.Scripting.SourceCodeKind.Statements)

source.Execute(scope)
ResultLB.Items.Add(scope.GetVariable("hello"))

If scope.ContainsVariable("tb") Then
    GuiStack.Children.Add(scope.GetVariable("tb"))
End If

Answer 2

It should work without any AddReference:

import clr
from System.Windows.Controls import TextBlock
tb = TextBlock()
