Custom OLE objects in VB.NET

Hello All,

I have created a custom "field" object in .Net that implements IOleObject.
It inherits from "System.Windows .Forms.Label". It also has several public
properties that contain data to be recalled later. I have also provided COM
identity by exposing ClassID, InterfaceID, and EventsID. I can drop these
objects into a RichTextBox using the IRichEditOle interface. They display
correctly, save to RTF, and Reload into the Richtextbox correctly. I can also
iterate through the objects in the richtextbox and cast the appropriate
objects back to my custom field object and retrieve the data for each
embedded object. Works great.

It even displays correctly in WordPad!!! Nice :)

HOWEVER, when I attempt to load the same file up in Microsoft Word, I get
the icon place holders for the objects. They do not draw correctly. When I
click on a placeholder I get an error stating that "There is not enough
memory or disk space to display or print the picture". I can right-click the
place holder and attempt a convert. It knows the namespace and object name.
When I convert, I get a different placeholder that says "Error! Not a valid
embedded object"

I'm suspecting that I'm not implementing the interface correctly, or I'm
missing other interfaces that need to be implemented.

Please help as I would really like this to show up in the document when it's
opened in Word.

I am using Visual Studio 2005, VB.NET

I can handle examples in VB.NET or C#

Thanks in advance,
Tony

By the way, I do not necessarily need in place activation of the objects from
within Microsoft Word. If they just showed up correctly without errors, that
would be great.

Thanks again,
Tony

Hello, In Python, classes are objects. But there is no way to custom print a class object. This would require some syntax such as the one commented out below: With the current "foo = classmethod(foo)" mechanism custom printing for class objects is not possible. #!/usr/bin/python class Foo:

I'm trying to pass a custom object back and forth between forms. This custom object is pulled into the app using an external reference to an assembly DLL that was given to me by a co-worker.

On the both pages I have a property of the page which is an instance of this custom...

Hello, I'm currently developing a web service that retrieves data from an employee table. I would like to send and retrieve a custom employee class to/from the webservice.

It seems that the ASP.NET Microsoft team didn't think about this!! The profilemanager class has the following methods: - DeleteInactiveProfiles. Enables you to delete all profiles older than a specified date. - DeleteProfile. Enables you to delete a profile associated with a specified username. - DeleteProfiles. Enables you to delete a set of profiles. - FindInactiveProfilesByUserName. Returns a collection of ProfileInfo

Has anyone come up with a slick way to make Custom Serializable Objects to behave like DataSets when using WebServices? What I'm looking for is some way to force the WSDL generated code to create a reference to my custom object's namespace instead of creating it's own copy of the object in it's own WS namespace. Either that, or some easy way to move all of the properties from the Custom Serializable Object into the WSDL generated object...

Hi all, We have a N-Tier framework and we now create a Web Site App to wotk with this architecture. I add reference from my libraries in the project and creating page and controls is very easy, using my objects. But, it's seem that I cannot create report using Crystal Report with my objects. I created classes in the app_Code folder and yes, I can use them but, it's not the way I eant to do it. I want to use my classes from my dlls.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
