Enum's in different assemblies
-
Hi all, I have just moved some Enumerations from one assembly to a new one. However, the solution no-longer builds, as the enum's have suddenly become non CLS-Compliant. Moving them back to the old assembly fixes the problem! Is it really the case that you cannot use enum's from different assemblies? I have google'd for the problem, but the only things I could find said to explicity define the enum as type int, which I have done without success. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Simon.

Thanks for your response. Colin Angus Mackay wrote: I use enums from different assemblies all the time. In fact you probably do too when ever you use an enum from the Framework itself. Yes, I realise this, which is what makes it even stranger (to me anyway!). Ok, to recreate this problem create a new solution and add two new projects (I added a class library (proj1) and a windows control library(proj2)). I added a new file to proj1, which contained the following enum definition:
public enum MyEnum { Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday }In UserControl1 in proj2, I added a new property of Type MyEnum. This builds successfully. I then added the line:[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]to the AssemblyInfo.cs file (and added using System;) Now re-building gives this error: "c:\Working\testenum\controls\UserControl1.cs(43): Type of 'controls.UserControl1.Day' is not CLS-compliant". Any clues? Thanks again for your help, Simon. -

Any clues? Thanks again for your help, Simon.Did you add the line:
[assembly: CLSCompliant(true)]to both projects?
