Are extension methods still recognized in the latest visual cobol for .net? I have a very simple ext method I am trying out and it does not seem to be recognized. I keep getting the error Undefined Error Contact Tech Support. I have a static extensions class like this.
class-id Extensions static.
Method-id CountWords(str as string) returning result as binary-long extension static.
declare #words as string occurs any = str::Split(' ')
set result to size of #words
end method.
End class.
Then my calling method is in another class like this.
Method-id SomeMethod()
declare a as string = "Mary"
declare b as binary-long = a::CountWords
End method.
Intellisense does not recognize CountWords as an extension and I get the error noted above.
#VisualCOBOLI just copied your example into a new project and it works fine.
I am using Visual COBOL V4.0 Patch Update 3 for Visual Studio 2017.
What version are you using?

#VisualCOBOLThat is the same version I am using.
I just created a new managed console application and copied the following into the default program.
Does this work for you or do you get the same error?
program-id. Program1 as "testextensions.Program1".
data division.
working-storage section.
procedure division.
declare a as string = "Mary"
declare b as binary-long = a::CountWords
goback.

#VisualCOBOLI will test that and see. Currently I am developing a managed windows form application and trying to use extension methods per my previous post.

#VisualCOBOLThat worked in a console application, but is still not working in my managed windows form application. I found some old code I developed using Visual Studio 2015 Visual Cobol and a windows form application where the extension methods worked and were recognized.

#VisualCOBOLIt would probably be best for you to open up a support incident with Customer Support and I could take a look at what you are doing. You could put my name in the description and that way it will be routed to me.
