Pass an array from IronRuby to C#
- by cgyDeveloper
I'm sure this is an easy fix and I just can't find it, but here goes:
I have a C# class (let's call it Test) in an assembly (let's say SOTest.dll).
Here is something along the lines of what I'm doing:
private List<string> items;
public List<string> list_items()
{
return this.items;
}
public void set_items(List<string> new_items)
{
this.items = new_items;
}
In the IronRuby interpreter I run:
>>> require "SOTest.dll"
true
>>> include TestNamespace
Object
>>> myClass = Test.new
TestNamespace.Test
>>> myClass.list_items()
['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears']
>>> myClass.set_items ['Peaches', 'Plums']
TypeError: can't convert Array into System::Collections::Generic::List(string)
I get a similar error whether I make the argument a 'List< string ', 'List< object ' or 'string[ ]'.
What is the proper syntax? I can't find a documented mapping of types anywhere (because it's likely too complicated to define in certain scenarios given what Ruby can do).
