What would such block usually do? Uppercase the first letter of a lower-cased class/namespace? We could do that or some other mangling automatically. Is there any value in customizing the mangling?
Being it automatic would help you to discover the constants since they would appear in Module#constants.

That might be prove beneficial in cases such as these. -Charles On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 5:37 PM, Tomas Matousek <tomas.matou...@microsoft.com<mailto:tomas.matou...@microsoft.com>> wrote: You need to use const_get to access classes/namespaces whose names are not compatible with Ruby naming conventions. A module in Ruby must start with capital ASCII letter. const_get(:mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib).const_get(:mdMUIncrementalClass).new should work.

I ran in to a problem recently where I am asking IronRuby 1.1.1 to require a DLL but it does not appear to be loaded. I do not get an error message but cannot instantiate any types from the DLL. If I do "p Object.constants" it does not return any namespaces or classes from the DLL. When trying to do: "mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib::mdMUIncrementalClass.new" I get the error: "undefined method mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib" Where mdMUIncrementalClass is a class in the DLL and mdMATCHUPOBJECTLib is the namespace. This works perfectly in C#/VisualStudio with the same DLL (I am basically using the exact same code in C# and Ruby). If it helps, this is an Interop DLL created by Visual Studio from a COM DLL. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
