SharpScript

SharpScript provides .NET scripting using C#, VB.NET, JScript.NET, and several other .NET languages. Its functionality is similar to what WScript provides for COM scripting, but SharpScript lets you use .NET, so it's significantly more powerful, type-safe, and object-oriented than previous scripting choices.

SharpScript includes a GUI version (SharpScript.exe) and a console version (SharpScriptConsole.exe). The GUI version provides a tray icon that allows you to monitor or cancel a script's execution. Both versions allow you to run debug versions of your scripts so you can attach to them with a debugger if necessary. The GUI version even provides menu items on the tray icon to make it easy to attach a debugger or break in the debugger.

SharpScript is written in C# and requires at least the .NET 3.5 Framework. The full source code is available for SharpScript and is included as part of a complete install.
