compilation issue

[julien]

Hello,
I have 2 classes in the same namespace:

using System;
using System.Collecti ons;

public class PluginInformati on
{
[...]

public PluginInformati on(string filename)
{
// constructor
}
}

---------------------
using System;

public class PluginStructure : PluginInformati on
{
[...]

public PluginStructure (string filename)
{
new PluginInformati on(filename);
}

public PluginStructure ()
{
//new PluginInformati on();
}
}

When I compile these 2 classes, I got the error:
e:\code\PluginS tructure.cs(44, 10): error CS1501: No overload for method
'PluginInformat ion' takes '0' arguments

e:\code\PluginI nformation.cs(1 7,10): (Location of symbol related to
previous error)

I tried to modify the constructors in PluginStructure (the first one
only, the second one only). But the error message is always the same (on
the line number changes), and it doesn't make sense for me:
PluginInformati on doesn't have a constructor with 0 argument.

Any idea?

Thanks
Julien

The problem is that PluginStructure is trying to implicitly call
base(), and there's no such constructor.
