Base And protected method

[=?Utf-8?B?WWFlbA==?=]

Hi,
com add-in vs.net 2003 & outlook 2003 & c#
I need to access to protected method of AxHost, How can I do this?
I get nothing after the dot (base.), Why?
This is my code: I need to set icon on commandBarButto n:
I need to get this:
return(stdole.I PictureDisp)bas e.GetIPictureDi spFromPicture(i mage);
Thank you.
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows. Forms;
using stdole;
namespace MatarotToolbar
{
internal class MatarotHost : AxHost
{
public MatarotHost() : base("02FD5840-C1A3-448E-8310-98611DF58281"){ }
public static stdole.IPicture Disp ImageToIPicture (Image image)
{
return(stdole.I PictureDisp)Mat arotHost.GetIPi ctureDispFromPi cture(image);
}
public static System.Drawing. Image IPictureToImage (stdole.IPictur eDisp
picture)
{
return MatarotHost.Get PictureFromIPic ture(picture);
}

// static public stdole.IPicture Disp ImageToPictureD isp(Image image)
// {
// return (stdole.IPictur eDisp)GetIPictu reDispFromPictu re(image);
// }
//
// static public stdole.IPicture Disp IconToPictureDi sp(Icon icon)

It's a static method - you can't call it on an instance.

Use AxHost.GetIPict ureDispFromPict ure(image);

As the method you refer to is "static", you should be able to do as you've
already done in one of the methods, extending the AxHost class and using the
classname as identifier.

public new static IPictureDisp GetIPictureDisp FromPicture(Ima ge image)
{
return (IPictureDisp)A xHost.GetIPictu reDispFromPictu re(image);
}

I get nothing after the dot (base.), Why?

Because GetIPictureDisp FromPicture isn't an "instance member" but a "class
member".

Thank's for your replays:
I tried to write this, but it is still not good:
public new static IPictureDisp GetIPictureDisp FromPicture(Ima ge image)
{
return (IPictureDisp)A xHost.GetIPictu reDispFromPictu re(image);
}
And maybe it is becouse of I don't get this method after the dot? (it's a
protected method)
AxHost. --I don't have this GetIPictureDisp FromPicture(ima ge);

Then you maybe haven't included system.windows. forms.dll in your project,
or you didn't reference the System.Windows. Forms namespace in the
declarations,
or your class didn't extend AxHost...

I did, and I got GetIPictureDisp FromPicture among the alternatives after the
dot when writing AxHost...

Or possibly you have another error in the code, above that point, that needs
to be resolved first...
