Uknown data types after Reverse Engineering (.NET)

General Questions/Discussions
1

Hello,
we try to integrate an existing project to VPUML 7.1. After (a successful) reverse engineering the .NET DLL, some of the methods’ return types and parameter types seem not to be known. The issue occures whenever we use (for instance) Boolean object instead of the bool data type. The return type looks like this:

System.Nullable`1[[System.Boolean, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]],

This happens only in methods, the properties have the right return type. Is this a known issue? An idea how to work around this?
In case it helps: I already had a similiar issue when using collections which seems to be solved in 7.1

Hi Davido,

Thanks for your post. Would you mind to attach a sample .NET DLL for investigation? Thanks in advance!
