HELP:CoCreate fails in pinvoked DLL

Ron
All,

I have a weird problem,

I have a Native DLL that CoCreates a COM object. If I call this DLL from a
native MFC app, everything goes just fine; If I call it from an managed
application with the exact same parameters, the CoCreate fails file
E_NOINTERFACE (x80004002).
I've played around with the different threading models (CoInitialize) but
that does not help..

Oh, I cannot consume the COM interface directly into the managed code, coz I
need the functionality currently in the managed DLL.

Please, can someone give me some hints?

Thanks!!!!

And this is on the CF or full framework?

This would be the full framework. it works great on the CF.

I know I X-posted it into the compact framework NG, but I am hoping to get
some more replies doing so.

Thanks!

Is this your COM object or a system one? Are you exposing any managed
interfaces as COM ([ComVisible])?

Alex,

No, I am not calling the COM interface directly from Managed code. I use a
intermediate DLL to do the CoCreate for me.

The project I am working on is designed to be used on all available .NET
platforms (Full and Compact framework). Basically it contains a managed
Class that calls (via Pinvoke) into a (plain and simple) native support DLL.
One of the functions in this native DLL functions CoCreates an instance of a
COM object. This construction works great on everything but XP (Full
Framework). It keeps failing with 80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE).

To test the DLL, I created a native XP application that calls the function
in the DLL. This works just fine, but when it is called from a managed
application (pinvoke) it fails with E_ NOINTERFACE.

The reason I choose to go with a native (wrapper) DLL is that on the CF it
is not possible to consume COM interfaces via the typelib file.

Is it something stupid I did not think of? Or is it just not possible to
call a native DLL function that CoCreates a COM object from managed code in
the full framework?

Thanks!
