Hi,
I have a .net class library which I want to expose to VB6. There is a public
enumeration in the .net namespace, and after com type library is created from
the .net dll, the enumeration elements end up having a prefix with the enum
name. I would like to know how to make the type library not to have any
prefixes.

Below is the .net code:

namespace TestInterop
{
   [Guid("F6D522B3-0A0B-4f95-9966-E0D0AD5627F0")]
   public interface IClass1
   {
       void EnumTest(SampleEnum pv_e);
   }

   [Guid("23F31309-93B0-4673-B9EF-232E8C7FB5C5")]
   [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
   public class Class1: IClass1
   {
       public void EnumTest(SampleEnum pv_e)
       {
           ;
       }
   }

   public enum SampleEnum
   {
       orange = 1,
       apple = 2
   }
}

This is the OLE View of the com type library:
[
 uuid(4F7AE37C-C405-4BCA-83C4-F67538AB08CC),
 version(1.0)
]
library TestInterop
{
   // TLib :     // TLib : mscorlib.dll :
{BED7F4EA-1A96-11D2-8F08-00A0C9A6186D}
   importlib("mscorlib.tlb");
   // TLib : OLE Automation : {00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
   importlib("stdole2.tlb");

   // Forward declare all types defined in this typelib
   interface IClass1;

   [
     odl,
     uuid(F6D522B3-0A0B-4F95-9966-E0D0AD5627F0),
     version(1.0),
     dual,
     oleautomation,
       custom({0F21F359-AB84-41E8-9A78-36D110E6D2F9},
"TestInterop.IClass1")    

   ]
   interface IClass1 : IDispatch {
       [id(0x60020000)]
       HRESULT EnumTest([in] SampleEnum pv_e);
   };

   [
     uuid(23F31309-93B0-4673-B9EF-232E8C7FB5C5),
     version(1.0),
       custom({0F21F359-AB84-41E8-9A78-36D110E6D2F9}, "TestInterop.Class1")
   ]
   coclass Class1 {
       interface _Object;
       [default] interface IClass1;
   };

   typedef [uuid(89162C26-B57A-3C33-A8DE-AE4812A44E1B), version(1.0)    ,
   custom({0F21F359-AB84-41E8-9A78-36D110E6D2F9}, "TestInterop.SampleEnum")
 
]
   enum {
       SampleEnum_orange = 1,
       SampleEnum_apple = 2
   } SampleEnum;
};

I would like to know how to make the enum look like just orange and apple
instead of SampleEnum_orange and SampleEnum_apple.

I appreciate for any help you might have.
