Hi Kornél, Regarding the bug in vbnc: how (and where) did you find a type with a null namespace? According to MSDN this should not happen unless it is a generic type: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.namespace.aspx
Anyway feel free to commit the patch ;) Rolf > Hi, > > Use "VB.replace.bat 2" then try to bootstrap vbnc on MS.NET. > > For an example have a look at the attached vbrun.diff. > > The bug I found when trying to compile vbnc was: > Case TypeCode.Decimal > Return CDec(Value) > > This results in a recursiong with Conversions.ToDecimal because CDec (and > all the other CType conversions are done at runtime unless the type is > known > to the compiler as well.
