bin and resource directory

[Chris]

questions:

If you have com objects that were created in something like C++, VB, etc.
Would it be true that if you added them to your project in VS.NET that you
wouldn't need to manually register them on the web server, i.e. regsvr32?

And if so is just placing them in the bin suffice? Or do you need to add
them as a reference? What should be a reference? I.e. Outside of your project
items (i.e. I add controls as a reference, etc.)

thanx.

Hi Chris,

AFAIK, all COM components associated with the application must be installed
in the Windows registry. However, you use the type library at design time to
help generate the interop portions in .NET.

Thank you for your response. Let me see if I can add some insight to my
confusion:

Before in ASP.net I would create a com+ object in VB complie it (Apartment
threaded) and register it using regsvr32 on the server, then I would be
available to my app.

In ASP.NET, I create a VB code form and compile it manually (vbc) and then
add it to my project as a reference and it works great. No reference in any
pages except New Namespace and class reference. i.e.:
Dim qc2005s As New qc2005s.clsqc2005

I also use 3rd party components so I add them as references and then on the
page they are used write something like:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ew" Assembly="eWorld.UI, Version=1.9.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=24d65337282035f2" Namespace="eWorld.UI" %>

I read the article on the link you provided. Is it says that for the Com
objects in this new project that since they are C++ that they need to be
registered on the server using regsvr32?

Thank you for being patient.
