Hello, We are able to hack and support default parameter values in mono's Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll finally !!!
Ankit Jain has come up with script (details below in fwd mail) and this is the final step of http://www.gnomebangalore.org/?q=node/view/498 what Jambu had mentioned in his blog. Will be avaliable in SVN after through testing and fixing bugs in monodis and ilasm(mono). Please fell free to pass your comments. Thanks Manjula >>> Ankit Jain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/10/05 9:57 AM >>> Hi, Attached files: fixup4.pl : Given a .il file, it will output the fixed-up .il on stdout. Usage: $ ./fixup4.pl vb.il > vb-fixed.il fixit : This actually, given a .dll disasm's it, runs the fixup script on it and assembles it back. Usage: $ fixit vb.dll vb-fixed.dll gacit : Takes a Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll, signs it, removes the original Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll from gac, and adds this new one to the gac. usage: $ gacit Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll gacit and fixit are probably not fit for checkin, cos you would wanna do this stuff in the makefile. Right now it works only with .net ilasm.exe and ildasm.exe . There are some bugs in monodis and ilasm(mono) which i'll try to fix now. Some details of this are avail on my blog : http://mono-nosip.blogspot.com BTW, the perl script is written more as a "C" program than as a slick perl thing.. heh am no perl regular!

And most of the MSVB namespace is composed of Modules. (Class Status page should help here. Just look for all classes that have an extra private constructor defined ....) 2) C# has no notion of DefaultParameters. There is a new Attribute (Mono specific attribute) that I added to all methods that take default parameter values. Link to my earlier blog http://www.gnomebangalore.org/?q=node/view/498 has all the required info on this front. > 3) At some point I will (should ;)) make test cases for related mbas issues. You might want to make use of the Mainsoft test cases in MSVB directory to assess the immediate progress. Cheers, Jambunathan K.
