How to Integrate Lua with .Net

Solution 1
What you are looking for is Moon#
(http://www.moonsharp.org/). So your example will look like this:
double MoonSharpFactorial2()
{
string scriptCode = @"
-- defines a factorial function
function fact (n)
if (n == 0) then
return 1
else
return n*fact(n - 1)
end
end";
Script script = new Script();
script.DoString(scriptCode);
DynValue res = script.Call(script.Globals["fact"], 4);
return res.Number;
}
Solution 2
From what I understand, you're trying to run Lua code within your C# application using the standard Lua API.
Unfortunately, this will not work, as standard Lua is written in C, which, while very similar to C# in it's structure, is not C# and is not compatible with the .NET framework.
Instead, you have to use a third-party wrapper such as NLua. ;)

Requirement is user should be able to add Lua script in text box, and then I need to check user has added proper Lua script and if script is correct then I need to run that script. Can anyone suggest me some code? I tried following:
using (Lua state = new Lua()) { state.DoString(txt.Text); var scriptFunc = state["ScriptFunc"] as LuaFunction; var res = scriptFunc.Call(2,3); Response.Write(res); }
