Thumbs up :) You might however expect this to work for all CLR types. In which case you can indeed monkey patch it as well (kind of):
>>> class Object ... def to_s ... self.class.name[0,8] == "System::" ? to_string.to_s : super ... end ... end => nil >>> => nil >>> require 'mscorlib' => true >>> => nil >>> System::Convert.to_int64(1234) => 1234 Tomas From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Letterle Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 1:58 PM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Handling C# lower case namespaces Just monkey-patch it: class System::Int64 def inspect self.to_string.to_s end end ;) On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Tomas Matousek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: Well, that's very unfortunate. They seems to break .NET guidelines for namespace naming. It's not compatible with Ruby language to have lowercased namespaces since they behave like modules. Module names must start with an upper case. We can add some API to overcome this, but it won't be pretty. Something like clr.class_get :foo, :bar, :baz would return class for type foo.bar.baz. For now you can use reflection API to get the type (and Ruby class for that type): System::Type.get_type("foo.bar.baz").to_class As for Int64... it prints #<System::Int64:0x000005e>, which is not particularly useful. It should probably call ToString. I'll file a bug.

It thinks it is a method call whenever a constant starts with lower case. It also doesn't handle non-alphabet characters such as _ (underscore). I'm trying to call WCF service from IronRuby via the proxies file. svcutil converts all namespaces in the proxies file to lower case. Here's some info on it: http://connect.microsoft.com/wcf/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=298408 I also noticed that "puts" does not output the value of Int64. However, it does if I use Console.WriteLine in my ruby program. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core -- Michael Letterle [Polymath Prokrammer] http://blog.prokrams.com
