TypeLib for interop assembly changes case of method name
-
I have a scenario similar to the following: Assume a single assembly (SomeAssembly.dll) contains the following types: 1. Class B inherits from class A 2. Class A implements properties Moe, Larry and Curly, all of type ArrayList. 3. Class B implements a public interface containing all of the public members of both classes A and B. The problem: I export the type library for SomeAssembly.dll using
Regasm.exe SomeAssembly.dll /tlb:SomeAssembly.tlb /codebaseWhen I view the generated type library, I see that while properties Moe and Larry appear as "Moe" and "Larry" (their proper case is preserved), property Curly is exported as "curly" (all lower case). So far, I haven't been able to find an explanation for this behavior, and while the CCW works just fine, the name change is a little disconcerting for my client. The only similar article I was able to find referenced a known issue whereby if there was another "curly" property that was written to the type library first, all following same-named properties would bear the lowercase name, but there is only one "Curly" property in my assembly. Any ideas? Failing a solution, is there any attribute decoration I might use to force the proper case in the generated type library? Thanks.
