extending a .NET class in Dyalog APL

[dhdurgee]

I am new to Dyalog APL and exploring things. I am trying to extend a .NET class in Dyalog APL. I am making some progress, but I am encountering a problem I can't seem to locate the answer to.

I am able create an instance of my extended class and am able to set the properties in my created instance. I am having a problem, however, when running the new extended method accessing these properties. I have tried referencing them both by property name and using the get_ methods to manage this both with and without a []BASE. prefix. All of these result in VALUE ERROR.

The particular method I am adding works with two instances as in:

Instance1.NewMethod Instance2

When execution halts with the VALUE ERROR )SI shows #.ExtendedClass.NewMethod[3]* as the top line. I can access the properties in Instance2 via Argument.Property as expected. My problem is accessing the properties for Instance1 from the above reference. I can similarly access the properties of Instance1 if I access it via #.Instance1.Property, but how do I know that Instance1 is the instance I need to reference? )SINL shows only my argument to the method and its result on the top line. If I execute )PROPS at the point of the VALUE ERROR I get Unknown as the response. If I execute )OBS at that point I get System as the response.

What am I missing to accomplish this?

PS: Error found! NewMethod had been specified as Shared as opposed to Instance. Now working as designed.
