Mixed code - "not registered"?

Phre2d

We are attempting to move a large development project into the .NET
age over time. We have a large number of ATL-based COM objects in
this project. Following the "Journal Poster" example provided by MS,
I have converted some of my COM projects into mixed code so that there
is both a .NET and COM interface to the underlying logic. So far, so
good.

In one of these former COM projects, four additional COM objects are
within from the underlying logic as a matter of executing the main
interface method. Our testing shows that this all works perfectly
well through older programs that are using this project as a COM
object, but when accessed as a .NET class library, only three of the
four objects are loaded properly - attempting to create the dispatch
for the fourth COM object causes a COM exception reporting that the
object is not registered.

I have traced the problem right down to the call to CoCreateInstanc e
and I have checked the registry, but I'm at a loss as to how to
proceed from here. Any ideas? Other than not being registered, what
can cause a "not registered" message?

Another common reason for a not registered error is that the this interface
would need a customer marshaller and that marshalling code is not
registered.

One of the reasonable ways to diagnose would be to use ntregmon or another
tool that shows registry calls to see what COM is looking for.

"COM Object with CLSID {...} is either not valid or not registered."

by: compassSoftware | last post by:

I am trying to work on an application that uses a dll as a COM object. I am coming in late to this project to administer/update the application. I notice in the References that a particular DLL is referenced as "Interop.DLLName" and I have the original DLL file as just DLLName with no Interop. My first question is why is the word "Interop" on the beginning of the DLL name and how do you get it to that state?

Windows Forms apps not "ending" when you close the form window

by: morangolds | last post by:

Hi, I've been having a problem with C++ Windows Forms apps not "ending" when you close the form window. I've searched about this problem all over the place and most searches have lead me to believe that this has to do with unreleased form component events or event handlers. I'm comparatively new to .net and windows forms, in the sense that though I've been using them for over 2 years now, it's been rather sporadic. I work with...
