[Ikvm-developers] Access privileges in System.Web.UI.Control

[Ted O'C. <toc...@gm...>]

When I created a stub of the .NET 2.0 System.Web.dll I run into access
privileges when trying to extend the cli.System.Web.UI.Control class.

The problem is that AddParsedSubObject, SetDesignModeState, and
GetDesignModeState are protected in both the stubbed and original
Control class but public in the stubbed interfaces and default in the
original interfaces that Control implements (IParserAccessor and
IControlDesignerAccessor).

The compile error is:
GetDesignModeState() in cli.System.Web.UI.Control cannot implement
GetDesignModeState() in cli.System.Web.UI.IControlDesignerAccessor;
attempting to assign weaker access privileges; was public

I can work around this by forcing the public visibility in my class like this:

public void AddParsedSubObject(Object arg0)
{
    super.AddParsedSubObject(arg0);
}
public void SetDesignModeState(cli.System.Collections.IDictionary arg0)
{
    super.SetDesignModeState(arg0);
}
public cli.System.Collections.IDictionary GetDesignModeState()
{
    return super.GetDesignModeState();
}

Is this an ikvmstub bug or just a limitation because of the .NET to
Java scope mapping?  Is this work around the best way to address this?

Thanks.
Ted
