Hi frolovm,
You're absolutely right. The for..in statement is broken for host objects in Standards Mode. Unfortunately this appears to be a JScript bug and therefore isn't likely to be fixed.
Consider however that for..in support is really only useful for
There are several ways to enumerate host object members that work in Standards Mode and don't have the problem mentioned above. JScript's
Unfortunately this currently doesn't work with
Another possibility might be to expose a JavaScript-friendly way to use .NET enumeration:
and then:
Finally, for scriptable name-value collections, you can always use native JavaScript objects instead of host objects:
Thanks for reporting this issue, and good luck!

IPropertyBag instances. All other host objects include instance methods, extension methods, and other undesirable members in the enumeration. This is by design, as some script engines (including JScript) don't have enumeration options for host object members.There are several ways to enumerate host object members that work in Standards Mode and don't have the problem mentioned above. JScript's
Enumerator class is one possibility:
engine.Execute(@"
for (var e = new Enumerator(expandoObj); !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext()) {
var item = e.item();
Console.WriteLine('{0} = {1}', item.Key, item.Value);
}
");IPropertyBag; that's a ClearScript bug that we'll fix in the next point release.Another possibility might be to expose a JavaScript-friendly way to use .NET enumeration:
publicstaticclass IEnumerableExtensions { publicstaticvoid @foreach(this IEnumerable source, dynamic callback) { foreach (var item in source) { callback(item); } } }
engine.AddHostType(typeof(IEnumerableExtensions)); engine.Execute(@" expandoObj.foreach(function(item) { Console.WriteLine('{0} = {1}', item.Key, item.Value); }); ");
dynamic someObj = engine.Evaluate("({})"); someObj.foo = 123; someObj.bar = 456; engine.Script.someObj = someObj;
