Thanks for the tip.

Looking at the ReferenceObject I can see that there is a namespace + interface name prefix before the getter and setter functions.

When using the IReferenceObject1 I see the accessors without the prefix and reporting the correct argument type.
To me it looks like we are good to go - but the the unit test still fails.
Perhaps I am sort of expecting the C API to behave like its managed counterpart in this case and allow me to access the explicit property through the interface.
I also build my property get method names up explicitly from the property name rather than using mono_class_get_property_from_name.
I will have to dig into this a bit more.

IReferenceObject2
