'<classname>' is not CLS-compliant because it derives from '<baseclassname>', which is not CLS-compliant

A class or interface is marked as <CLSCompliant(True)> when it derives from or implements a type that is marked as <CLSCompliant(False)> or is not marked.

For a class or interface to be compliant with the Language Independence and Language-Independent Components (CLS), its entire inheritance hierarchy must be compliant. That means every type from which it inherits, directly or indirectly, must be compliant. Similarly, if a class implements one or more interfaces, they must all be compliant throughout their inheritance hierarchies.

When you apply the CLSCompliantAttribute to a programming element, you set the attribute's isCompliant parameter to either True or False to indicate compliance or noncompliance. There is no default for this parameter, and you must supply a value.

If you do not apply the CLSCompliantAttribute to an element, it is considered to be noncompliant.

By default, this message is a warning. For information on hiding warnings or treating warnings as errors, see Configuring Warnings in Visual Basic.

Error ID: BC40026

To correct this error

  • If you require CLS compliance, define this type within a different inheritance hierarchy or implementation scheme.

  • If you require that this type remain within its current inheritance hierarchy or implementation scheme, remove the CLSCompliantAttribute from its definition or mark it as <CLSCompliant(False)>.
