It will not work importing both. I import both with no_namespace, but the second #import generates lots of __missing_type errors. It looks like this:
#import "mscorlib.tlb" raw_interfaces_only #import "eshopbase.tlb" no_namespace #import "eshopbusiness.tlb" no_namespace One problem is that the generated typelibrary doesn't reference the typelibrary containing the types, which seems to be a bug in the tlbexp tool? It does generate a reference to mscorlib.tlb so it will be included in the resulting .tlh file. -- - Petter Nilsen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical Manager, Internet Development, Visma Software ASA > -----Opprinnelig melding----- > Fra: Mattias Sjögren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sendt: 22. desember 2002 02:46 > Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Emne: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] enums in typelibs > > > Petter, > > >I have an enum and a baseclass in a namespace, and a derived class > >returning the enum in another namespace.
