ActiveX in .NET and missing properties

[Eric]

Hello,

I'm using an ActiveX component in my .NET application bij referencing the
DLL. Visual Studio will create a wrapper class. So far so good. The problem
is that i've not all properties avialable from the ActiveX objects that i
CAN access by using the same objects from script. Are these dynamic added
properties, and is there a way to access them?

Thanks in advance!

Ok I got further now.

The following is working:

Assembly a = Assembly.Load("Interop.MyLib");
Type myType = a.getType("MyLib.MyObject");
myType.InvokeMethod(....); //Invoke getName()

The strange thing is I do not see the method getName() when calling
myType.GetMethods(). But when i invoke getName() by using InvokeMethod() it
is working?

Now I have another problem. Besides 'hidden' methods there is also a
variable avialable called length. How can I get the value of this variable?
The myType.GetProperty() is not working (again length is not shown when
calling GetProperties()).

Any ideas?

I tried using late binding and get the Methods by calling GetMethods() on
the type.

Already found the solution :)

Use invokeMember() with bindingflag: BindingFlags.GetProperty.
