I realize that this may not be an exact answer to your question, but I figured I would put my 2 cents worth in as I doubt to many people have tried this.
I got it to work by created a managed wrapper using mixed mode C++. There are other ways to do it, but I was going to attempt to make a full wrapper that could be used from any .NET language.
Getting the lib to compile in such a way that it could be included in a mixed mode project was a little bit of a challenge. I had to modify the runtime library (in the SConstruct file) used to /MD and /MDd so that it would be compatible with the /clr switch.
So far I have only simple scripts running as I have not implemented callbacks, custom methods, objects and such.
Here is a quick sample of what the usage looks like for one of my test apps:
V8DotNet.Shell shell = new V8DotNet.Shell();
shell.ExecuteScript(@"print('V8 version is: ' + version());");
It runs more complicated scripts like a base64 encoder fine as well. But for now I can only add custom items from the c++ side.
I am willing to provide more information + code if anyone is interested as I may not ever pick this project back up. But, I’m afraid it way to much code to go into a post here so we would have to find some other medium like google code or codePlex.
Edit:
OK, I’ve uploaded the code. I do have to put a disclaimer on this: The project is very early and I am an amateur at C++ at best so don’t get your hopes up too much. Also, this project was created/done just after chrome was released so the version of v8 included may be old.
That said, here it is: http://ryanscook.com/Files/V8-DotNet.zip (21.5 MB)
In the package you’ll find the following items of interest:
V8Net-Library\V8.Net\V8.Net.sln – This
is the solution that has the managed
C++ wrapper proj and a C# console app
for testing.Dependencies\V8 – This is my V8 code
that I used to build the V8 lib.
Hope it helps!
