I have a file MYFile.WSC which is being used by as asp site, which i am converting over to .net (c#). Inorder to use this .WSC file i am going down the route of com interop so as .net can use the existing code, to save me recoding. I am generating a type library file by right clicking on it and selecting the option to generate one, i am then parsing this into TlbImp:

TlbImp C:\MYFile.tlb out:C:\MYFile.dll
Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Type Library to Assembly Converter 2.0.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

TlbImp : error TI0000 : System.SystemException - The type library importer encountered an error during type verification. Try importing without class members. :
System.TypeLoadException - The signature is incorrect.

There is no information on HOW to import without the class member???
thanks

Failed to import COM dll in C++ into C# in .NET 2005

It works fine in previous version until we decide to use .NET 2005. The C# project failed to add reference of COM Dll in C++ with the error message:

A reference to "../whatevername.dll" could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, that it is a valid assembly or COM component".

Please help.

You should make Interop.whatevername.dll file and add it to your project. Some tools provide by VS2005 will help you. Look for TLBEXP.EXE

DCOM Server question

I have written an ATL COM server in a DLL with merged proxy/stub using Visual Studio 2005. It can sometimes be used locally and other times remotely. Deploying locally is straightforward and I've now got a client using it that way. However I've been wading through all sorts of internet articles, discussions etc. about how to deploy, debug, and use the component remotely, but to no avail.

I need to be able to deploy and debug on a remote machine via peer-to-peer and/or ethernet switched networks, including guidance on how to configure the security correctly on Windows XP Prof. with SP 2. I've got to believe there is a 'step by step' guide on how to do this, but I haven't found one yet.

Please can anyone help.

Thanks.

Hey,
i always register my dll in com+ as application. Than you can export this application in a msi file. You can deploy for clientside and serverside. The security thing is a try and error. Good luck Wink | ;-)

Implementing IDownloadManager & download() method..

Hi,

I want to create an IE plug-in where whenever a download dialog is expected, the file is downloaded automatically to a specified folder - the dialog should should not appear.

Has anyone worked on something similar? Is such a thing work be possible to do w/out extensive COM/IE/ATL/OLE knowledge?

I am somewhat familiar with C++ & COM/ATL/OLE concepts.
From the MSDN docs, I also know that I just need to create a COM object which implements a couple of interfaces and register it.

But, am absolutely clueless where to begin & how to get to that. (Never used the Visual Studio)

Any helpful pointers plz ?

Thanks,

when i work on a new word document i can attach to the word process and debug but when i work on an opened word document i can attach but the break points are not active

can anyone give me any hint?

inspect DLL for IDispatch methods

if i have a DLL (could be a COM DLL, could be a generic Windows DLL), is there a way to inspect it to see if it implements a specific IDispatch interface without registering the DLL and using CreateDispatch.

i imagine the process is something like:

LoadLibrary
GetProcAddress for QueryInterface
use QueryInterface to find .... (?)

i need this to test DLLs to see if they meet the requirements for our plugin interface without registering the DLL (to avoid cluttering the users' registry)

If the DLL has a type library, load it with LoadTypeLib[Ex] and iterate through it. I would suggest using the Ex-version of the function, as you can tell it explicitly not to register the library.

You will also have to dig out docs for the ITypeLibrary interface (and friends).

If you do not have access to a type library (not very likely, since it's a dispatch object), you'd have to create the component and QueryInterface().

no, no type lib.

the problem is - the DLL can be any DLL at all. assume you've got a file named foo.DLL: no typelib, no other information - just a DLL file. you can't assume anything has called DLLRegisterServer on it, and you know have a CLSID for it. there is no CLSID, no registered interface, just a DLL file.

given that, is there a way to tell if it implements a given IDispatch interface ?

it's been so long since i've even looked at any of the low-level COM stuff... i'm not even sure what i need to do with QueryInterface... all the examples i've seen assume you have a CLSID.

ugh

But DLLs most often contain a type library. Are you sure it's "clean"? Sounds very odd... Load the DLL in OleView (tool which comes with VS.NET 2k3, 2k2 and VS6. Not sure about 2k5). If you can see the classes in it, you will be able to use LoadLibraryEx (that's what it does).

You could always do manual COM-plumbing to create instances of COM-classes contained within the DLL, but that's useless, as you need the CLSID...

Chris,

I believe CLSID would be required because it is possible that a single COM Inproc server can expose multiple components of which few would support IDispatch and few would support VTBL binding only.

Considering that only DLL is available to us you might not take TypeLib processing (COM servers can have the TLB shipped seperately and are not embeded in DLL resource), DllGetClassObject function can be used (after LoadLibrary)to get ClassFactory. You can use Class factory to intantiate an Object of that class passing IDispatch IID.

I believe you must also consider about single server supporting more than one components and hence more than one Class factories.

ActiveX object not showing up in IE [modified]

Hey everybody.
i've just programmed an activex control using c++ and mfc. now i've got the problem that it doesn't show up in my html page. the weird thing is that i can load the page from my harddisk and everything is fine. However when loading from my server the activex area just displays a white box with a little x in the upper left corner.

more weird stuff to follow:
when i open my offline document and THEN browse to my online page the activex control DOES show up correctly. O_o

I've already debugged my ocx and can say the following:
When not showing up, the module is still loaded (CMyApp::InitInstance is called) it's not unloaded prematurely (CMyApp::ExitInstance is called upon closing explorer only) CMyCtrl::OnCreate is not called... what could it be? The control was successfully VeriSign'ed by the way

Any Help is very appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Stephan Unverwerth

UPDATE:
The problem occurs even with a blank project from the MFC ActiveX Wizard!!!

Error indicates, Linker is not able to find definition of WebLock::GetWeakReference. If it is you class, then provide one, or link the lib having information in.

Hi guys,

I am calling a managed dll build in 2.0 from a vb 6.0 application, the dll runs well under clr 2.0 but the vb application breaks.

I was previously using managed dll built with 1.1, and that was working fine. i have framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed with windows server 2003.

can u guys tell me what could be the problem??

Thank You.

There could be many reasons for your managed component from failing.

I have a problem with COM ( object is Internet Explorer )

I designed a form with Internet Explorer object. Everything seem OK but when I surf a website contain inline frame ( the inline frame's location is in other domain ), I met a problem. With the main page, I can do everthing with it such as view HTML source, list links ..etc.. but with the inline frame, I can't do anything with it ! All request return message "access denied".
Thought, the error came from something about security reason of IE ( may be cross domain ? ). I can't find a way to solve this problem. I tried to set some config on IE but nothing except "access denied" message return . Frown | :(

Anyone can help me ? Thanks lot !
