Why isnt this CLS compliant?

[Smokey Grindle]

This class is coming up as not CLS compliant, why?
with this warrning
Warning 2 Type 'Account' is not CLS-compliant.

Namespace Accounts

''' <summary>

''' Represents an account

''' </summary>

''' <remarks></remarks>

Public Class Account

Private m_AccountID As Int64

Private m_Name As String = String.Empty



Public Property AccountID() As Int64

Get

Return m_AccountID

End Get

Set(ByVal value As Int64)

m_AccountID = value

End Set

End Property

Public Property Name() As String

Get

Return m_Name.Trim

End Get

Set(ByVal value As String)

m_Name = value

End Set

End Property

Public Sub New()

Me.AccountID = -1

Me.Name = String.Empty

End Sub

Public Sub New(ByVal accountID As Int64, ByVal name As String)

Me.AccountID = accountID

Me.Name = name.Trim

End Sub

Public Overrides Function ToString() As String

Return Me.Name

End Function

End Class

End Namespace

I believe "as Int64" is the culprit

to prove/disprove, change it temporarily to Integer

 

[Smokey Grindle]

nope, didnt change anything, I thought just unsigned integers, and unsigned
values where non-CLS

The only errors I get in a VB 2005 console application for this code is

Warning 1 Only one XML comment block is allowed per language element.
C:\Documents and Settings\mdo\Local Settings\Application Data\Temporary
Projects\ConsoleApplication1\Module1.vb 11 5 ConsoleApplication1

I get this error on the ''' <summary>, ''' Represents and account, and '''
</summary> lines

Mike.

 

[Smokey Grindle]

Shouldn't be any errors there, thats a valid XML comment block

 

[Claes Bergefall]

Works just fine for me. I'm not getting any warnings in .NET 2005

/claes

 

[Claes Bergefall]

You need to remove the blank lines in between them.

wierd its still throwing a CLS warrning to this day for me

 

[_AnonCoward]

There isn't any reason why this code as presented here shouldn't be
considered CLS compliant. I gather you are using Visual Studio for
this. Have you tried compiling from a command line?

Thanks - I hadn't used the XML comment creation in VB so I wasn't aware that
the all had to be consecutive lines.

Mike.

 

[Michael D. Ober]

Cut and paste your code into a new project. Something's wrong in how the
compiler is interpreting your code. I just had to do a similar move in a C#
catch block.

Smokey,
In addition to the other comments:

Is this the only class that is, or do you have other classes that are not
CLS compliant?

Do you have CLSComplaint(False) at the assembly level? For example the
following line in any files in the project:

<Assembly: CLSCompliant(False)>


As the others have stated, using your code as posted I do not receive a
warning.
