SharpScript

SharpScript provides .NET scripting using C#, VB.NET, and other .NET languages. Its functionality is similar to what WScript provides for COM scripting.  However, 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 provides menu items on the tray icon to easily attach a debugger or break in the debugger.

SharpScript is written in C# and requires the .NET Framework. The full source code for SharpScript is available.
