Right now, the only way to get properties is to implement an interface that defines them. When IronRuby supports this "natively", it will have to define a syntax for doing so. That's because the Ruby language supports neither properties, attributes nor static types - all of which will be needed. This will probably involve adding some new methods to Class that allow you to define typed CLS members. But we don't have a specific timeframe for implementing this yet.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stefan Dobrev Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 2:46 PM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Overriding CLS Virtuals Are we going to have "real" properties under the hood, because what we have for now is just method with "get_PropertyName"? And this did not play nicely with databinding. I think the same question applies for events as well. 2008/9/9 Curt Hagenlocher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> I've committed some changes to IronRuby (in SVN revision 141) that let you implement CLS interfaces and override virtual methods on CLS base types. Interfaces work like Ruby modules, so to make your class implement IDisposable you could say require 'mscorlib' class Disposable include System.IDisposable def Dispose # Do something end end You can also override virtual properties. A class or interface that has the C# declaration "string Value { get; set; }" is overridden from IronRuby with methods named "Value" for the getter and "Value=" for the setter. Note that you need to use the same casing as the CLS definition for both methods and properties. We're just getting started with better .NET interop support and don't have very much test coverage yet - but this should let you get going on some more sophisticated interop scenarios than were previously possible. -- Curt Hagenlocher [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
