Msscript.ocx C# wrapper problem

[tiamat]

Hello,

I am having a problem using msscript.ocx with C# VS2005 and DateTime objects, specifically the method 'AddObject'. I have added a reference to the control and below illustrates the issue:

ScriptControlClass scripter = new ScriptControlClass();
bool bRet = false;

try
{
scripter.Language = "VBScript";
scripter.AllowUI = false;

DateTime dtTest = DateTime.Now;

scripter.AddObject("test", dtTest , false); // Throws exception : InvalidCastException

bRet = (bool) scripter.Eval("test > 25 Mar 2005");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
... code to display error
}
finally
{
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComO bject(scripter);
scripter = null;
}

I would very much appreciate it if anyone can shed light on how I can get this working so that date time objects can be used and successfully evaluated as dates. i.e. no point converting to numbers as I require evaluation in the script as shown in the example - "test > 25 Mar 2005".
