Hi hi, what’s wrong with this code [http://gist.github.com/285354](http://gist.github.com/285354) when I generate things look right but of course I have no idea what right means there is content in the Initializer.generated.cs file Many many problems in my file and I can’t seem to work out why. * * * Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto C.

There seems to be a bug in the generator. It generates a method name using invalid characters (:🙂 Load\_\_Singleton\_TheLandOfChocolate::OompaLoompa\_Instance Could you please file a bug?

this is outside the ironruby source tree and not a class of ironruby itself. ## Are you saying I have to put my sources in the ironruby source tree for me to use those attributes?

Sorry for the confusion, I didn’t realize you were just building an external IronRuby library. Can you also open a bug against the generator to not spit the “Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation” out into user-code? =P ~Jimmy From: [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) [[mailto:removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)] On Behalf Of Ivan Porto Carrero Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 1:28 PM To: [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] can’t generate the initializers this is outside the ironruby source tree and not a class of ironruby itself. ## Are you saying I have to put my sources in the ironruby source tree for me to use those attributes?
