Jon,
Thanks for your reply. Here is a code snippet. It is not complete but it is
small.
IJDPosition, iLogicalDistPort are COM interfaces defined in VC++ idl files.
DPosoition is COM class ( an ATL object ).
AutoMath.IJDPosition pos = null;
pos = new AutoMath.DPositionClass();
iLogicalDistPort.SetCenterLocation((NozzleEntities .IJDPosition)pos); //This
throws Specified cast in not valid exception.
Why cast is needed :
The iLogicalDistPort is in defined in the idl file of
NozzleEntities VC++ project. Following is the idl file:
import "AutoMath.idl";
interface IJLogicalDistPort : IDispatch
{
[id(2), helpstring("method GetCenterLocation")] HRESULT
GetCenterLocation([out,retval] IJDPosition ** ppPosition);
[id(4), helpstring("method SetCenterLocation")] HRESULT
SetCenterLocation([in] IJDPosition * pPostion);
};
library NozzleEntities
{
coclass DistribPorts
{
[default] interface IDispatch;
interface IJLogicalDistPort;
};
}
Since the object is in the type library of NozzleEntities, the method is
expecting NozzleEntities.IJDPosition as argument.
I can only create AutoMath.DPositionClass(), since that is where my
DPosition class is implemented.
I hope the scenario is clear. If not I can provide more details. Basically
I am creating an unmanaged object and calling a method on it in managed code.
My main question is, this used to work in v1.0. I haven't make any changes
except moving to v1.1. Now I get the exception. Is there any known problem
or known solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Raj

there any difference in project settings or something else between v1.0 and
v1.1?
Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?
See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.
