Is there an IronRuby lib for generating concrete CLR classes?

Question

I want to expose a class to CLR classes. The reason I have is Xaml. I want to write WPF custom controls in Ruby, then use xaml to style and provide templates for them. Last time I tried, Xaml couldn't look up IronRuby types.

class NavBar < TreeView
    ...
end

<ControlTemlate TargetType={x:Type MyNamspace:NavBar}>
    ...
</ControlTemplate>

I know I can get there by writing to the CodeDom, but I'm hoping someone already did the heavy lifting or can show me how without resorting to CodeDom.

There is the IronRubyInline project which does exactly that. For WPF you don't need C# classes though because databinding just works, but for Silverlight < v4 you do need them. http://github.com/rvernagus/IronRubyInline
