AvoidInt64ArgumentsInComVisibleMethodsRule

Assembly: Gendarme.Rules.Interoperability.Com
Version: git

Description

This rule checks that ComVisible methods do not take System.Int64 arguments because Visual Basic 6 clients do not support it.

Examples

Bad example:

[assembly: ComVisible (false)]
namespace InteropLibrary {
    [ComVisible (true)]
    public class Bad {
        public void DoBadThings (long a)
        {
            // doing bad things
        }
    }
}

Good example (type changed):

[assembly: ComVisible (false)]
namespace InteropLibrary {
    [ComVisible (true)]
    public class Good {
        public void DoGoodThings (int a)
        {
            // doing good things
        }
    }
}

Good example (method is not visible from COM):

[assembly: ComVisible (false)]
namespace InteropLibrary {
    [ComVisible (true)]
    public class Good {
        [ComVisible (false)]
        public void DoGoodThings (long a)
        {
            // doing good things
        }
    }
}

Notes

• Rule applies only when the containing assembly has ComVisible attribute explicitly set to false and the type has ComVisible attribute explicitly set to true.
