Data Type Problem with VB and CSharp...I believe

I am attempting to use VB.Net to interface to a CSharp DLL to print reports.
I have taken the CSharp Example that I have seen reported in this newsgroup
and made it into a DLL. I am trying to use the Reporting Services report
parameter and getting the following error in VB.Net:
TestApp.vb(613): Value of type '1-dimensional array of
TestApp.ParameterValue' cannot be converted to '1-dimensional array of
ParameterValue' because 'TestApp.ParameterValue' is not derived from
'ParameterValue'.
In the public function in the CSharp DLL, I am looking for three parameters.
public bool PrintReport(string reportPath, ParameterValue[]
reportParameters, string printer)
In VB, I am calling the function like this:
PrintServer.PrintReport(ReportURL, ReportParameters, Printer)
Here is how I have declared the ReportParameters object:
Private ReportParameters(4) as ParameterValue
Can someone please explain to me the error message and how to fix it?Hi. Try fully declaring your ParameterValue[] parameter with the same
namespace as that of the cSharp library.

ParameterValue[] parameter with the same namespance as that of the cSharp
library.
I tried what I believe you were saying in my VB declaration:
Private ReportParameters(4) as SQLPrintServer.localhost.ParameterValue, with
SQLPrintServer being the namespace of my cSharp library, and got the same
error message.
TestApp.vb(570): Value of type '1-dimensional array of
SQLPrintServer.localhost.ParameterValue' cannot be converted to
'1-dimensional array of TestApp.ParameterValue' because
'SQLPrintServer.localhost.ParameterValue' is not derived from
'TestApp.ParameterValue'.

the web service resides. I'm assuming from your code that it's
"SQLPrintServer.localhost".
You also have a test application whose default namespace appears to be
"TestApp".
A fully qualified name for a class is "NameSpace.ClassName". Therefore,
"SQLPrintServer.localhost.Parameter" is not equivalent to
"TestApp.Parameter".
Can you provide the code please? That might help.

it. If it does not work, I will add another post. Thanks for explaining it
further.
