calling COM object errors

I've an appartment threaded VB6 COM object thats been configured in COM+ to
run under a specific domain user.

I've tried instantiating the object in my VB.NET class and I get the
following error....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
A first chance exception of type 'System.Invalid CastException' occurred
in gbasvr07.dll

Additional information: QueryInterface for interface ALFA._Sage failed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------

If I continue, I eventually get the message (in the browser)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
Server Error in '/' Application.
QueryInterface for interface ALFA._Sage failed.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current
web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about
the error and
where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidC astException: QueryInterface for
interface
ALFA._Sage failed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------

If I try to catch the exception, I get "Thread was being aborted" as the
exception message.
I've been searching for answers and it seems to point to the threading, but
all options I've seen state that aspcompt must be set to true, which it is.

Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting this? BTW - it worked the first
time I ran the page!
regards,
Bruce

The idea I am getting is that you treat something as InProc in your
component's initialisation code that blows when the component is
instantiated as local or remote. If the component has dual interfaces you
may get away with it when it is instantiated as an InProc server using the
VTable interface. Check your component's startup code (debug it or set some
MessageBox statements) to see where it blows. Then ask yourself "where is
this variable/data located?" You may be casting an interface to some value
type.

Hello all, I'm having a dickens of a time calling a stored procedure on a connection.

In an attempt to answer another question in this group, I've had to resort to calling the DOM method, Node.removeChild(), using a reference to it (long story...). That is, passing Node.removeChild. In Opera (7.23/Win), the call appears to do nothing - the node remains - but no errors are shown. In Netscape (7.0/Win), an exception results. On IE (6.0/Win), the node is removed. Strangly, if I pass another function reference, say...

I am trying to figure out a way to print the address of what called a certain function once inside the function. I am assuming that this information is on the stack somewhere. But can someone give me some advice? I don't know where to go to look this information up. Do I need to access the stack, and hence do some kind of inline assembly code to get the calling address?

Hi all, Is there a simple way to call every method of an object from its __init__()? For example, given the following class, what would I replace the comment line in __init__() with to result in both methods being called? I understand that I could just call each method by name but I'm looking for a mechanism to avoid this.

How do I browse the objects of it? I would like to call it late bound, but the errors I...
