Instantiating DotNet variable of subtype XElement

jhoek

I'm trying to instantiate a DotNet variable of type System.Xml.Linq.XElement, using this statement:

MyXElement := MyXElement.XElement('foo');

but keep getting this error message:

Ambigous function call, no matching method found.

A similar call for a System.Xml.Linq.XDocument succeeds without any problem:

MyXDocument := MyXDocument.XDocument();

XElement's factory method XElement() accepts a single XName as its parameter (in the overload that I would like to use). Normally (e.g. from C#), you pass a string to the function, which is converted implicitly to an XName - the latter class doesn't have a public constructor for me to call.

Could it be that C/SIDE is unaware of this conversion, and still expects an XName? Is there a way to work around this?

Could it be related to this?

Thanks for your reply! :-)

It might be, but I think in my case, the parameters are overloaded, and in (e.g.) Waldo's case, it's the return value (didn't even know that was possible! :oops: ).

Problem solved! :-)
