>From what I remember of VS.NET (some years ago), this is a project setting, but the default for VB projects, really is for the root namespace to be the project name, and IS inconsistent with the behaviour for C# projects. vbc has a command-line option for that the VB project builder of VS.NET uses: /rootnamespace:namespace See: .NET 1.x http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/valrfRootnamespace.asp .NET 2 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/58kxttdx.aspx As to understand a bit of the internals of VS.NET on that regard: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vslangproj.projectproperties.rootnamespace.aspx And a bad opinion on it: http://hyperthink.net/blog/2004/08/14/RootNamespace+In+VBNET.aspx :) > Anyway, cheers > Alex > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Rafael Teixeira [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 14 August 2006 13:59 > To: Alex Sisson > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [mono-vb] Creating instance of VB assembly in native linux > c application > > > Never heard of someone trying to call VB.NET assembly from C by embedding > Mono. > > Have you tried to call the methods from C# instead of from C? > > Also, check that you didn't compile them with incremental linking > (default on debug builds) as it puts an undocumented segment within > the assembly, that prevents Mono from loading the assembly. > > Possible culprits, if both tests above pass OK: > ++ vbc (the compiler that VS.NET calls) may generate assemblies with > some undocumented characteristic, that Mono doesn't know how to deal > (if such we wan't to know to implement it) > ++ some support code in mono's implementation > Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll, doesn't work as needed (doesn't seem to be > it, but alas) > > Could you open a bugzilla case with details, and a short VB.NET > assembly that causes the problem (the snippet of code that do your > embedded calling)? > > Thanks, > > On 8/14/06, alexs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I'm investigating mono so that we can avoid rewriting VB.NET assemblies for > > a possible linux port of our software... > > > > I have created a simple VB.NET assembly with static and instance methods and > > compile is in Visual Studio.
