I'm thinking it would be rather inefficient to have a slew of interop
dlls for every single XSI activex assembly ever written, so I'm going to
try and create a common set to work off of with a nice installer.
Should do the job.

You are now hearing from me :) 
 
It works. 
 
In otherwords... I got the following .cs file to work. 
 
[code] 
/*

using System; 
using System.Runtime.InteropServices; 
using XSI = SI3DOBJECTMODELLIB; 
namespace XSIHelloWorld 
{ 
 
    public interface IXSIHelloWorld{ 
        
        void callMe(); 
        
    } 
 
    [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)] 
    public class XSIHelloWorld : IXSIHelloWorld{ 
        
        public void callMe(){ 
            XSI
.CXSIApplicationClass app = new
XSI.CXSIApplicationClass(); 
            ((XSI.Application) app
).LogMessage("HELLO XSI WORLD!",
XSI.siSeverity.siInfo); 
            
        } 
        
    } 
} 
[/code] 
 
The important thing here is that the c# code is calling into the XSI
COM type libraries directly and is being called through scripting. 
 
So umm... yea.  Wow.  AWESOME!  WOO HOO!  HOORAY! 
 
I'm going to spend some time over the next few days trying to
streamline this execution environment to make it easy to install and
all that jazz.  Then I'll publish it to make it accessible. 
 
BTW, I have run into one slightly annoying problem.  Once you create
the activex object, XSI holds onto it and makes recompiling the DLL
impossible until you close XSI.  What would be the best way to force
the activex object to be destroyed and get the DLL unloaded?  So I can
keep from having to reload XSI every time I want to compile?  Or is
this impossible?  Any thoughts?
