Re: Are there classes that IKVMC will not convert?

Jeroen,

Thank you for the guidance and tip.

Andrew, thank you for the offer, but the answer is embarrassingly simple.

The classes are indeed in the dll, their visibility is limited.

My error was in believing that the Visual Studio Object Explorer would show all classes - which it does not.  The developer tool ildasm will show all classes in the dll.

Hope this helps others who may see the same.

Regards,
Gerard
