Hi,

I have already posted a related question on this group, may be the
answer to this question is linked to the answer to other question, but
I think its not related. I have added the link to other question at the
end of this post.

Coming to the issue I am facing:
I am using Visual Studio.NET 2005 beta 2 (.net framework 2.0 beta).

I have a class definition like this:
       [ComVisible(true)]
       public  class Class1
       {
               private int i;
               public int Method1()
               {
                       return i;
               }
       }

I build the assembly and then I add as reference using the the tlb file
for this assembly in Excel VBA. When I navigate to object browser in
VBA and search for "Class1" I see it there but the public method
"Method1" is not listed. When I use the method in VBA code though it
works fine.

The problem is :users will face the issue of not knowing what methods
are available through this class.

I have one solution when I make the class implement an interface and
set ClassInterface attribute to none, thereby the methods are listed as
part of the interface.

Is it the correct approach?
Is there a better approach?
Is it going to cause issues with versioning ie., is it going to break
user code when we release a new version of this class or any other
issue?

thanks in advance
