Calling VB 6.0 DLL in ASP.Net

[Abhilash]

I referenced a COM dll in ASP.NET and using the following statement to
instantiate the library:

Dim Package As New PkgUtil.Package

In my development PC it is possible to instantiate the library and also to
call different methods exposed by the DLL.

The same application deployed on the client's web server fails to
instantiate the DLL. The web application hangs while executing the statement
"Dim Package As New PkgUtil.Package ". Finally the web page expires.

My user account is added to Administrators, Debuggers group in both the
development PC as well as in the live server.

I will appreciate your help to solve this issue.

Thanks

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your quick response. Please find the code snippet below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Function CreatePackageFi les(ByVal tempLocation As String)

Dim lsiprFileNameSr c, lsiprFileNameDe st, lsTempstr, lsline,
lsFilename As String
Dim licounter As Integer
Dim lobjSubFolder, lobjSubProject As Dinfo
Dim lobjfsStrmreade rSrc As StreamReader
Dim lobjfsStrmwrite rDes As StreamWriter
Dim lobjFile, lobjFileSrc, lobjFileDes As FileInfo

Dim Package As New PkgUtil.Package

Try
' CREATE PACKAGE
Package.CreateP kg(tempLocation &
"\Packager\Non_ IP_Package.pkg" , "", "")

. .. . .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awaiting your reply.

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick response. Please find the code snippet below:

That's all well and good, but how have you exposed the COM object with .NET?
How does it know what to do with it...?
