dotnettojscript's Introduction

JScript which bootstraps an arbitrary .NET Assembly and class.

Usage Notes:

This only works from full trust JScript(obviously), so should work in
scriptlets etc. By default it will only works if v2/v3/v3.5 is installed.
However if you specify the '-ver auto' switch when building the output it
will also work on v4+ only, however that will introduce a dependency on
WScript.Shell which you might not want.

To use this you'll need to create an assembly which targets .NET 2 (though
in most cases you can also use 3.5 as you don't tend to see .NET 2 installed
in isolation. In the assembly implement a class called TestClass which does
something you want to do in the public, parameterless constructor.

public class TestClass
{
    public TestClass()
    {
        /* Start notepad */
        Process.Start("notepad.exe");
    }
}

Ensure it's public. Then pass to this tool the path to the .NET assembly.
If you annotate the class with the ComVisible attribute you can even interact
with the object after it's created. e.g.

[ComVisible(true)]
public class TestClass
{
    public void DoSomething(string arg) { }
}

You can change the name of the entry class by using the -c switch and adding the name.
You can also get the tool to add additional code to interact with the object by
specifying the -s parameter with the path to a text file containing the additional
JScript. The created object is named 'o', so for example if you wanted to call
the DoSomething method load a file containing:

o.DoSomething("SomeArg");

The default mode is to output a JScript file which can be executed in Windows
Scripting Host. However if you want a scriptlet pass either -m (for a scriptlet
which can be used from a scriptlet moniker) or -u (for a scriptlet which can be
used from regsvr32). You can also specify the '-l vba' switch to output a VBA 
file which should work in Office Macros or '-l vbscript' for VBScript.

Finally by default the tool will output to stdout, you can output direct to a file
using the -o switch.

dotnettojscript's Issues

Doesn't work anymore

When i build JS from my selected VB.net it doesn't show any error but in the same time it wont work but 33 months ago all was good it's weird.

Unable to get ExampleAssembly to work

Hello I am attempting to use DotNetToJScript for a project but I am having an issue with getting the ExampleAssembly to actually run calc.exe. I am running DotNetToJScript.exe -o test.js ..\..\..\ExampleAssembly\bin\Debug/ExampleAssembly.dll and then using wscript test.js. All of which works without any errors being thrown or any other issue. However calc.exe is never actually run. I ensured that I have DOTNet 3.5 framework selected, and that I have added the NDesk.dll to the references. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

RFI: assembly which targets .NET 2

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this excellent tool and method.

This is not an issue but rather a Request For Information.

Could you please elaborate on why is it required to create an assembly which targets .NET2 and not let's say .NET4 ?

Actually if you have a paper or something explaining the nifty details of how all this works could you point me to it ?

Thanks,
Arno

Cannot run DotNetToJScript.exe

Not able to run DotNetToJScript.exe and create Jscript. I've install .NET v2.0:

PS> $PSVersionTable

Name                           Value
----                           -----

PSVersion                      2.0

SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1
PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.1
PS > .\DotNetToJScript.exe
This tool should only be run on v2 of the CLR

OS Version: 10.0.18363 N/A Build 18363

This tool should only be run on v2 of the CLR error

when pulling from github and loading DotNetToJScript in visual studio and compiling I get the error.

PS C:\Users\misthios\codeplay\pen300\book\chapter4> ./DotNetToJScript.exe ExampleAssembly.dll --lang=Jscript --ver=auto -o demo.js
This tool should only be run on v2 of the CLR

my specifications

PS C:\Users\misthios\codeplay\pen300\book\chapter4> $PSVersionTable

PSEdition                      Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion                   10.0.19041.1682
CLRVersion                     4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion              3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3
SerializationVersion           1.1.0.1

The error want me to run v2 that is understandable, however there is no immediate resources how to remedy this. Tried installing .NET 3.5 manually that did not work.

However getting the files from release and running it opens up system dialog to install net 3.5. Shouldn't this be the ideal behaviour?

JScript working, but not VBA

Hi,

Thanks to your explanations I've managed to get a v4 assembly to get executed through the DotNetToJscript technique.

However, with the exact same assembly (.dll), the JScript version, running in wscript.exe, works perfectly, but the VBA version fails with an unspecified error which I would translate in english to "an exception was raised by the target of a call".

The assembly DLL is compiled this way:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /target:library /out:dbc2_agent.dll *.cs

This works:
DotNetToJScript.exe --ver=auto -l JScript -c dropboxc2.C2_Agent dbc2_agent.dll > dbc2_agent.js

This fails, using the VBA code in Excel (32 bits if it makes any difference...):
DotNetToJScript.exe --ver=auto -l VBA -c dropboxc2.C2_Agent dbc2_agent.dll > dbc2_agent.vb

Any idea would be helpful.

Thanks !

Consult questions

I wonder how you found the overridden function's real name like GetByteCount_2 for System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.
I'm stuck with this question for years... Can you be my teacher with this question. Thank you sincerely
