Hello,
I'm currently developing on a large project where several assemblies
build into DLLs that support the final .NET EXE. The original plan was
to implement the project in VB.NET, so the EXE project is a VB WinForms
App. Later on we got approval to not stick to that requirement so I
started writing library code in C# (which I much prefer).
Of interest in my problem are two C# DLL projects aside from the main
EXE project. The first, we'll call it 'A', contains a code file with a
few general no-arg delegate declarations. Then, an interface in the
other C# project, which we'll call 'B', contains declarations of events
using this delegate-type.
Finally, one of the Forms in the VB EXE implements this interface and
thus implements the events from the C# interface in assembly B. This
seemed to work okay earlier and not give any errors, but perhaps other
errors that I have since resolved were blocking the notification of
these errors, so the problem could have been there all along since I
started using the delegates/interfaces. I'm not entirely sure on that.
If I build assembly A or B separately, I get no problems. They compile
entirely. Remember that the interface in B, uses the delegate in A, so
it can see it and use it fine according to the C# compiler. Then I try
building the VB EXE and it complains, saying
C:\MyPath\MainF orm.vb(16707566 ): Type 'A.EventHandler ' is not defined.
Obviously my code is not that long. The vb compiler made up that line
number, presumably as some default abstract designation. I'm not for
sure.
Yet I am not getting an error that says I am failing to implement the
interface. This is curious because the only way it can know that I am
correctly implementing the interface is if it knows about that
delegate-type. Before I fixed other problems, I was getting a compiler
error that told me I wasn't yet implementing the interface when I was
mismatching on some of the declarations between VB and C#. Once I fixed
those, those went away. So that error was accurately reflecting that
issue. So what could have occurred that it suddenly doesn't find a
declaration that had to have been used to help resolve another error
message?
All dependency references are project references (as opposed to
explicit DLL path references) and yes I've tried deleted all bin/obj
folders and then rebuilding.
Thanks.

Just an off the wall comment. What is the versioning in the
AssemblyInfo.vb set to? Is it set to auto increment the version?
Could this be related to your problem?
If by "auto increment" you mean that the version ends with a wildcard,
then yes. In AssemblyInfo.vb I have:
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion ("0.4.0.*")>
Does it matter that I've pushed the wild-card to the fourth component,
instead of the default third often used? I do this so I can explicitely
specify major-minor-micro versions and just let that final
auto-component be my IDE-generated "build-number".
How would this cause the problem I describe above though? Thanks.
/S
My idea is that perhaps the error you are getting is caused by a
mismatched version. I have read in Jeffrey Richter's book, "Applied
Microsoft .Net Framework Programming" that using the wildcard to
specify the version can cause dependency problems and that you should
always specify all four values.
I don't know if this is your problem, but it may be worth looking at.
Chris
Unfortunately this is not it. I deleted all build output again, removed
all wildcards from versions, specifying all parts explicitely, and the
result hasn't changed. Thanks for the suggestion though, I would agree
it was worth trying, seeing as how I can make little more sense of what
I'm experience.
So I'm open to other possibilities again. Thanks.
/S

When should you use an interface over a delegate?
Like if you have a class that needs to sort various types of objects.
Should it use a delegate to do the sorting or require that the objects
implement a sorting interface?
I read that delegates are smaller and of finer granularity than
interfaces. What does that mean exactly? Does it mean they are more
efficient?

One of the things I've struggled with from time to time is handling

various ways of dealing with this. One way is to make the class thread
safe by putting in locks. But another way is to stream the events from

Hi all,
I've been trying to get my head around delegates. The book i'm using
had a single example, not much explaination, and didn't show how to set
up a delegate and pass variables in and out of the functions it refers
to. So I've been playing around and came up with he following code. I
know it doesn't do much, but I just wanted to fit together delegates
and parameter passing:

Hello.
I have developed a COM object using ATL. It seems to work fine when

However, I want to use a delegate in VB to asynchronously run a method in

interface seems to be "junk" when accessing it from the delegated VB method.
When called synchronously from the same thread using the Delegate.Invoke(),

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
