VC++ 2005 Beta 2: warning C4490: 'override' : incorrect use of override specifier

[Adriano Coser]

Hello.

After I converted my .net code to the new VC2005 syntax I started to get
C4490 on my ExpandableObjectConverter subclass overrides. The GetProperties
method is no longer called by the PropertyGrid when I use my subclass as a
type converter.

Can anyone tell me what has changed? What's the correct way to override
GetProperties method? Here's the code for my class:

// ExpandableProperty.h
#pragma once

using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System:iagnostics;

public ref class TExpandableProperty : public ExpandableObjectConverter
{
public:
TExpandableProperty();

virtual PropertyDescriptorCollection^
GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext^, Object^, Attribute^ attributes)
override { return GetProperties(); }
virtual PropertyDescriptorCollection^ GetProperties(Object^) override {
return GetProperties(); }
virtual PropertyDescriptorCollection^
GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext^, Object^) override { return
GetProperties(); }
virtual PropertyDescriptorCollection^ GetProperties() override { return
propertyCollection; }

virtual bool GetPropertiesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext^) override {
return true; }
virtual bool GetPropertiesSupported() override { return true; }

bool AddProperty(PropertyDescriptor ^propertyDescriptor);

private:
PropertyDescriptorCollection ^propertyCollection;
};

// ExpandableProperty.cpp

#include "StdAfx.h"
#include ".\expandableproperty.h"
#using <mscorlib.dll>

//-----------------------------------------------------------

TExpandableProperty::TExpandableProperty()
{
propertyCollection = gcnew PropertyDescriptorCollection(nullptr);
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------

bool TExpandableProperty::AddProperty(PropertyDescriptor^
propertyDescriptor)
{
propertyCollection->Add(propertyDescriptor);
return true;
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
Adriano.

I think if you just override:

virtual PropertyDescriptorCollection^ GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext^,
Object^, array<Attribute^>^) override

and

virtual bool GetPropertiesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext^) override

it'll take care of the overloads as well. Also, there isn't a
GetProperties() overload that takes no arguments.

Thanks for your answer James.

Translating from de old syntax I declared the third parameter as
'Attribute^' instead of 'array<Attribute^>^' and I just didn't see this
error until your answer.

Adriano.
