Status of .NET support

[DaveEchols]

What is the status of fully supporting the .NET framework. I have tried the XML imported, written by a third party, and have had problems using it in a latrge number of classes/DLLs. I also found this fron Geoff Sparx...

Hi,

The latest build (584) of EA has an additional option to import an XML 'library' file of .NET framework classes as mention by Jason in an earlier post on this thread:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/ecma/
(scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a link for an XML file describing the BCL)

The option is on the right click on a package in the project tree ... under import/export.

We plan to put together some reflection based examples in C# to create suitable XML files for import using this option. In the meantime you can use this to import the BCL at least.

Hope this helps,

Geoff Sparks


When will EA support .NET natively, instead of relying on a third party utility, or an incomplete BCL xml file from Microsoft? Can someone at EA create a .NET base EAP file with the complete set of classes, and post to the downloads section?

EA is not a tool just for .NET developers! EA has fantastic support for .NET as is - just try some of the other tools (and then factor in their price...).

Not sure what 3rd party tool you're on about but using a bit of reflection, you should be able to describe the .NET Framework in as much detail as you want to and then create your own file.
