Is there something I need to do to get the value in js?
Like in eg below shouldn't I at least get back "true" or 1? Its just code generated straight from the SDK wizard, and then I call it with one js line
logmessage(testreturn());
and I get "// INFO :"
I get nothing.
I've tried returning objects,strings, arrays, etc. and various suggestions found online to return values from c# to jscript.
I'm missing something basic I guess, any help greatly appreciated.

Same as scripting, enable the Context.ReturnValue prop in the Init method and return the calue from the Execute method with the return statement.
