The CLS (Common Language Specification) is a set of constraints on APIs and a complementary set of requirements on languages. If a library is CLS-compliant (i.e. adheres to all the constraints), then any CLS-compliant language can use that API. Conversely, a CLS-compliant language is guaranteed to be able to use any CLS-compliant library. (Int32 is an example of a CLS-compliant type, so CLS guarantees it's safe for library writers to use it in their APIs.)

Why does an explicit interface implementation with varying case prevent a class from being CLS compliant?
Consider the following example:
[assembly:CLSCompliant(true)]
public interface I
{
void FrobnicateSQL();
}
public class C : I
{
public void FrobnicateSql() { } // *
void I.FrobnicateSQL() { }
}
The line marked with * yields the…

Argument type 'FluentNHibernate.Mapping.IProperty' is not CLS-compliant
Name is not compliant? Layout? What?
Do you have ideas what exactly could generate this message? Any ideas are welcome. I have bunch of such warning.

If enums are not CLS-compliant what can I use instead?
Enums are making some of my assemblies not-CLS-compliant.
I know they shouldn't be public because every language defines them differently.
But if I cannot hide them and use them internally, what can I use instead of an enum?

Is \t CLS compliant?
I am trying to gradually migrate my VB Dot Net code to use only CLS compliant language elements so that the eventual switch to C# is less painful.
Currently, I am using Microsoft.VisualBasic.vbTab and am looking for the CLS equivalent.
Thanks.
