Cominterop Assembly registration...

Nadav

Hi,

Introduction:
*************** *
I have created a .NET COM interop Assembly, this assembly references another COM object.

The Problem:
*************** **
To enable registration of the .NET assembly as a COM object I have generate a 'Strong Name' and associate it with my assembly, upon 'Strong Name' association I get 'Assembly generation failed -- Referenced assembly 'Interop.SALLib ' does not have a strong name', this happens because my DLL references a COM object and the COM proxy generated by the .NET framework doesn't have a 'Strong Name', Note that the referenced COM DLL wrapper is automatically generated by the .NET Framework so no 'Strong name' can be associated with it....

How could I resolve the problem?
Is it possible to associate a Referenced COM wrapping assembly with a 'Strong Name'? How?

ThanX
Nadav.

Check out following article on MSDN: Generating Primary Interop Assemblies
http://tinyurl.com/ysbbd

There are two ways to generate a primary interop assembly:
Using the Type Library Importer (Tlbimp.exe) provided by the .NET Framework
SDK.
Creating primary interop assemblies manually.
You must have a cryptographic key pair to sign the assembly with a strong
name. For details, see Creating A Key Pair.

Unable to remove any assembly from GAC

I have encountered a situation where I am unable to remove a .NET assembly from the GAC.

Loading classes when an assembly is loaded

by: Outshined | last post by:

I have a class library where just about every class uses its static initializer to register with a central registry object in the same assembly. I am hoping for some sort of Assembly.Load event that I can handle to go through my assembly and invoke the static initializer on each relevant class. This way, everything that needs to be registered will be registered before the first request to the registry object. So my questions are:

Global Assembly Cache Query

Hey. I'm working on a program built to support several optional plugins.

COM Registration of Assembly Problems

I'm trying to call a C# assembly from an unmanaged C++ app, but I'm having some problems. I've tracked it down to a registration problem, and a search through the registry shows that the guid I've assigned to the assembly in the COM interface is not there. Also, my HRESULT from my CreateInstance call shows "Class not registered" in debug mode. I've registered the class by hand, and still it doesn't show up in the registry. Is there some way...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
