Actually it is a work around we are trying for some other problem.
The real problem is we are using a Wrapper dll on the COM Server.And we are trying to Call Release in dllmain( PROCESS_DETACH) function and we are facing problems in that.So we though we will send a message(by any windows message or using events) to Server so that it will call the release() function itself.
