What is "JScript Thunk Assembly" assembly?

187 Views Asked by At

For many of my ASP.NET websites I've used reflection to get version information about the loaded assemblies, (I used this for statistics and deployment purposes).

On a few of the websites I've noticed an assembly called JScript Thunk Assembly, but I have no idea where it came from - or what it is used for.

I've had a google around for it, but returned nothing useful.

There's no problem with that assembly being there, was more curious of why and where it came from.


Update: After getting curious about this again, I have found where the "JScript Thunk Assembly" comes from. See this shared-source for .NET 2.0: Microsoft.JScript.Runtime.cs#L111.

I can see that a call to CreateThunkModuleBuilder() is made from the internal ThunkModuleBuilder property, but I am unsure how or why it is call from my own application.
(The mystery continues...)
