CppCliLanguage Redgate Webpage on Expand Methods

When using the newest version of the Net Reflector code when I've installed the CPPCliLanguage .DLL add-in and go to expand methods after I dissasemble the dissasembly window brings up the homepage for redgate. This has to be some sorta bug right? Is there a fix to it? I've been able to reproduce it again and again without fail.

Install fresh Reflector
Install CPPCLiLanguage DLL file in the same directory
launch Reflector
Add Add-in
Go to System::Windows::Forms::ComboBox (or any other one)
Dissassemble
Expand Methods

    There is a bug in the addin that you have installed. You could report it to the addin author.

    It is throwing an exception in the code to write an ObjectCreateExpression where the addin uses code like the following:

    private void WriteObjectCreateExpression(IObjectCreateExpression iObjectCreateExpression)
    {
    ITypeReference reference = iObjectCreateExpression.get_Constructor().get_DeclaringType() as ITypeReference;

    In the example you gave, the create expression is new RECT() and the constructor property is null leading to an exception being thrown. The other language generators check for the Constructor property being null and use WriteType in this case.

    Reflector 5.1.6 used to bring up a dialog to report the exception - 6.0 seems to be redirecting to the Red Gate web page. I'll investigate further why this is.

    Thank you for your quick and nice reply. Is there any chance of using a older version of reflector? Mine always deletes itself?

    Hi there,


    I'm afraid that, due to .NET Reflector's popularity, we don't distribute older versions because we are unable to support them. As Clive suggests, your best bet is to try to contact the author of the add-in. Contact details are available on this page:

    http://www.sandpapersoftware.com/Main/Reflector.html

    It is odd that it opens the Red Gate site in that case though, so we'll try to figure out why and will aim to get a fix in the next release of .NET Reflector.

    We're adding support for the C# 4.0 and VB 10 language extensions in .NET 4 at the moment, so we'd hope to have something out in April or possibly May.


    Thanks,


    Bart
