Hello Can anyone see why I can''t include System in this little script? If I do I get an exception ''Converter is not a class (TypeError)''. If I skip the include and fully qualify the classes in that namespace this works perfectly. Thanks for your time and ideas, Patrick require ''System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'' require ''Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'' include System include Microsoft::Office::Interop::Word class Converter def Convert(inputDirectories, outputDirectory) word = ApplicationClass.new inputDirectories.each {|inputDirectory| Directory.GetFiles(inputDirectory, ''*.doc'').each { |file| documentPath = System::IO::Path.Combine(outputDirectory, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file) + ".xps") word.Documents.Open(file) word.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(documentPath, WdSaveFormat.wdFormatXPS) word.ActiveDocument.Close() } word.Quit() } end end -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Converter is a *delegate *type in the System namespace (it comes from mscorlib.dll, not System.dll). You should probably put your class in a custom namespace like so: module MyModule class Converter ... end end On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Patrick Brown <patrickcbrown at gmail.com>wrote:> Hello > > Can anyone see why I can''t include System in this little script?

Actually, System::Converter is a generic type definition for a delegate class. Generic type definitions are mapped to Ruby modules. These modules are included in all instantiations of the generic type.>>> load_assembly ''System''=> true>>> System::Converter=> System::Converter[TInput, TOutput]>>> module System::Converter... def foo ... puts ''foo'' ... end ... end => nil>>> c = System::Converter[Fixnum, String].new { |i| i.to_s }=> System.Converter`2[System.Int32,IronRuby.Builtins.MutableString]>>> c.fooFoo>>> System::Converter[Array, Hash].ancestors=> [System::Converter[Array, Hash], System::Converter[TInput, TOutput], System::MulticastDelegate, System::Delegate, System::ICloneable, System::Runtime::Serialization::ISerializable, Object, Kernel] Tomas From: ironruby-core-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Patrick Brown Sent: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:15 AM To: ironruby-core at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] can''t include System Hi It is funny how obvious some of these things turn out to be.
