Ironruby core - Jul 2009 - How to Refer to the Classes in my Custom DLL

Hi,

I have a class library in C# called "BusinessObjects" and I want to
refer to that DLL using IronRuby.

I typed:

require ''BusinessObjects''
true

include BusinessObjects

>>> include BusinessObjects
C:\ironruby\ironruby\Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Libraries.LCA_RESTRICTED\Builtin
s\ModuleOps.cs:793:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant
Object::BusinessOb
jects (NameError)
        from :0

I want to refer to a Customer class inside the BusinessObjects library.

"include" only works for .NET namespaces, as they map to Ruby modules,
not Ruby classes. You can''t "include" a Ruby class.

Does this class library have a namespace? If so, you can either use the fullname
or include the namespace.

require ''BusinessObjects''

NameOfNamespace::BusinessObjects # => NameOfNamespace::BusinessObjects
# or
include NameOfNamespace
BusinessObjects # => BusinessObjects

Is BusinessObjects the top-level namespace here?
Usually, you might have some namespace a level above that, like 
Azam::BusinessObjects

Could you attach a zip with the compiled BusinessObjects.dll?
Thanks
