Why do I get "Type of 'xxxxxxMethod' is not CLS-compliant" error

[TS]

This method has a return type of a
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ReportClientDocument. I have
gotten this error before with a crystal object but i would think that it
would come complient from Crystal.

Does anyone know why i get this error?

thanks

You would have to post the method signature (definition) for us to see.

Remember that non-compliance can be something as simple of using an
unsigned type (ulong, ushort, etc) or having a parameter name begin
with an underscore. Non-CLS Compliant doesn't mean that it won't run
under the CLS; it just means that not every .NET language can call the
method because there's something about it that the syntax of other .NET
languages might not support.

any comments?

 

[TS]

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static ReportClientDocument ReportSourceInSession
{
get{ return SessionManager.GetSessionItem(Report.ReportSourceSessionKeyName)
as ReportClientDocument; }
}

note the ReportClientDocument class is named in the
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc namespace.

also here:
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
protected CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer crViewer;

and here:

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public void LoadCrystalViewer(Report report, CrystalReportViewer crViewer)

the Report class in the signature above is a custom class created in C# that
the first static property at the top is declared in.

The compiler won't compile without the CLS attributes i use and they seem to
all stem from the crystal assemblies.

thanks so much.

Hmm. I'm as stumped as you are. We need someone who understands CLS
compliance better than I do to explain this one....

[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public static ReportClientDocument ReportSourceInSession
{
get{ return SessionManager.GetSessionItem(Report.ReportSourceSessionKeyName)
as ReportClientDocument; }

thanks for trying Bruce. I have seen something along the lines of it being
the actual assembly from crystal that is non-compliant, so i guess there's
nothing more to do...except move to Reporting Svcs
