You can always use const_get for the 1% cases. IMO, having non-capitalized namespaces and classes is already 1% case, since such libraries violate .NET design guidelines.

Capitalizing the first letter would probably work in 99% of cases, but I could imagine there might be case where you have an xFoo type and an XFoo type in the same namespace. That's probably being pedantic though - just capitalizing the first letter sounds like a pragmatic solution to me. -Charles On Sat, Mar 26, 2011 at 10:01 PM, Tomas Matousek <tomas.matou...@microsoft.com<mailto:tomas.matou...@microsoft.com>> wrote: 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.

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 _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org<mailto:Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org> http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
