Ironruby core - Jun 2009 - CLR interop bug?

Hi
What is the nitty gritty around monkey patching CLR classes. When I''m
monkey
patching I should be able to get to the protected members of a class right?
And the private members too (I see it kind of like partial classes)?

public class AggregatorRepository :
RepositoryBase<MediaAggregatorModelUnitOfWork>
{
    public
AggregatorRepository(UnitOfWorkScopeBase<MediaAggregatorModelUnitOfWork>
unitOfWorkScope) : base(unitOfWorkScope)
    {
    }

    //Some C# methods here that use Linq and Expressions for querying

}

Repository base defines a protected property UnitOfWorkScope

I monkey patched it like so

module MediaAggregator
  module Models
    module Lightspeed

      class AggregatorRepository

        def users
          uow.method(:find).of(User).call
        end

        def uow
          self.unit_of_work_scope.current
        end

      end
    end
  end
end

Calling the users method result in an error complaining about a protected
unit_of_work_scope method. And ironically the error talks about my situation
as being the solution:
*
*
*C**LR protected method `unit_of_work_scope'' called for
MediaAggregator.Models.Lightspeed.AggregatorRepository:MediaAggregator::Models::Lightspeed::AggregatorRepository;
CLR protected methods can only be called with a receiver whose class is a
subclass of the class declaring the method*


Do I put this on codeplex or am I reading the error wrong? As far as I can
tell I am subclassing a class.

The error message might be more clear:

CLR protected method `unit_of_work_scope'' called for
MediaAggregator.Models.Lightspeed.AggregatorRepository:MediaAggregator::Models::Lightspeed::AggregatorRepository;
CLR protected methods can only be called with a receiver whose class is a Ruby
subclass of the class declaring the method

You need to derive a Ruby class from the CLR class and use its instance to call
the method. What we need to do internally is emit a CLR subtype of the CLR type
that proxies protected method calls coming from Ruby code. When you monkey-patch
a CLR method it doesn?t mean you are ?in the type?. You are still outside of the
type, so you still have the same visibility restrictions on CLR members as if
they were called from any other Ruby/CLR method. IronRuby just overlays Ruby
methods over the CLR type, it cannot ?open? the type.
