"ambiguous" problem with VB.NET 2005

13 Mar 2006 2:06 PM

Denis Samoilov

We have a namespace N which includes enumeration ENUM1 and a class C with
property C.Enum1, e.g.
namespace N
{
     public enum ENUM1{};
     public class C {
         public ENUM1 Enum1
         {
          get{}
          set{}
          }
     }
}

When we trying to use both N.ENUM1 and N.C.Enum1 from VB.NET 2005 we get the
following error
'ENUM1' is ambiguous because multiple kinds of members with this name exist
in class 'N.C'

With VB.NET 2003 all works fine.

Hello, Denis:

Have you tried to unambiguate from the Global namespace?:
dim x as global.your_application's_namespace.n.c.enum1

Regards.

Hello Denis,

Maybe you'll have to use reflection to access the members.
Use, for example, type.invokemember to access the property:

dim obj as new N.C
'You may need to set the adecuate BindingFlags.
result = GetType(N.C).InvokeMember("Enum1", Reflection.BindingFlags.GetProperty, Nothing, obj, Nothing)

See also the PropertyInfo class.

Regards.

VB 2005 is case insensitve. In otherwords, ENUM1 and Enum1 are the same
identifer in VB 2005. This was also the case in VB 6 and earlier and I
suspect, but don't know for sure that it was true in VB 7.x (2002 & 2003) as
well.

One other thing - are you sure your VS 2003 was in VB 2003 and not VC# 2003.
The sytax you gave below looks more like C than Basic. In C/C#, ENUM1 and
Enum1 are different identifiers.

We write SDK. So our code is on C# but our clients can use C#, VB.NET or
other .net-language.

This problem does not relate to case setivity because these two different
identificators:
N.ENUM1
&
N.C.Enum1

Denis,

It is anoying, it is not only with your classes it is even with standard Net
classes as by instance Forms.Dialog

I cannot help you, however maybe good to know.
