You need to instantiate InstalledFontCollection in order to use its Families field directly. The code sample you sent gets Families from the type InstalledFontCollection, rather than an instance thereof, and thus tries to iterate over a property descriptor. Try the following:
>>> for f in InstalledFontCollection().Families: ... print f.Name ... Good luck, - David -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of David McWright Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 7:44 PM To: users@lists.ironpython.com Subject: [IronPython] Error Iterating Hello All, I'm working through a book and one of the exercise involves building comboBox filled with the names of the installed FontFamilies. The code and error are: >>> import clr >>> clr.AddReference("System.Drawing") >>> from System.Drawing.Text import InstalledFontCollection >>> for f in InstalledFontCollection.Families: ... print f.Name ... ... TypeError: iteration over non-sequence of type getset_descriptor The MSDN says that InstalledFontCollection.Families should be an Array of FontFamily objects which I thought I could step through. What did I do wrong here?
