C# classes interoperate with other .NET languages

Question

Is there a way to ensure that other .NET languages will interoperate with my C# classes ?

Yeah, there is no problem. Just add a reference to the compiled dll file (or to the project) — Darren Kopp, Oct 06 '13 at 00:54

Yes, decorate your assembly with CLSCompliant attribute.

The most important thing would be for you to use the CLSCompliantAttribute. This prevents you from inadvertently using non CLS compliant features in C#.

There are a few pretty obvious rules that I can mention here. Note, this list is not exhaustive. I just wanted to point our some of the rules to give you a feel of what CLS compliance is all about.

Do not use unsafe types (pointers) in the public interface.
Do not mix member name casing in the public interface.
Do not use unsigned types in the public interface.
