Vista - [CTP2:] Add-Type Conundrum

Hi

Thought this was a bit odd, so I figure I'll share it....

I'd have thought that these 2 would be virtually identical in terms of final
outcome -
the one being inline compiled c# and the other inline compiled VB, but it
would appear not.

# Inline c# Code
#----------------
$showWindowAsync = Add-Type -memberDefinition @"

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

"@ -name "Win32ShowWindowAsync" -namespace
in32Functions -passThru -Language CSharp
#----------------

versus


# Inline VB.net Code
#----------------
$showWindowAsync = Add-Type -memberDefinition @"

<DllImport("user32.dll")> _
Public Shared Function ShowWindowAsync(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow
As Integer) As Boolean
End Function

"@ -name "Win32ShowWindowAsync" -namespace
Win32Functions -passThru -Language VisualBasic
#----------------


The first c# example results in

PS (4) > $showWindowAsync

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True False Win32ShowWindowAsync System.Object



whereas the VB example results in an array



PS (2) > $showWindowAsync

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
False False MyApplication
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Appli...
False False MyComputer
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devic...
False False MyProject System.Object
False False MyWebServices System.Object
False False ThreadSafeObjectProvider`1 System.Object
True False Win32ShowWindowAsync System.Object



Nothing insurmountable of course, since they both include the all important
'Win32ShowWindowAsync', but curious nevertheless.


Any thoughts or insights?

First example seemed to get chopped there. I'll try again ....


# Inline c# Code
#----------------
$showWindowAsync = Add-Type -memberDefinition @"

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);

"@ -name "Win32ShowWindowAsync" -namespace
Win32Functions -passThru -Language CSharp
#----------------
