Binding: What determines Libraries.g.cs?

Question

User853 posted

I am trying to bind the ChromeCast libraries and the first steps have gone pretty easily: Objective Sharpie, some amount of cleanup, etc.

But just when I thought I was about to get a clean compile, I get:

 Error CS0117: `MonoTouch.Constants' does not contain a definition for `ChromeCastLibrary' (CS0117) (ChromeCastBinding)

When I look at the code in Libraries.g.cs, I see:

namespace MonoTouch {
[CompilerGenerated]
static class Libraries {
    static public class ChromeCast {
        static public readonly IntPtr Handle = Dlfcn.dlopen (Constants.ChromeCastLibrary, 0);
    }
}
 }

Which makes me scratch my head. I don't even have the string or symbol "ChromeCastLibrary" in my project, as far as I know!

What should I do to get rid of this message?

Make sure that you specify the Library where it comes from on the [Field] and set that to "__Internal", this should work:

[Field ("FooBar", "__Internal")] NSString FooBar { get; }
