Unable to cast COM object of type error

I have a tiny ASP.net app that references a DLL that I created in vb6 called 'PCCEncryptionLib'. In my development environment running in teh VS Dev server, everything works perfect. I move it to my production server, register the DLL, and try to run it, I get this error.........

Unable to cast COM object of type 'PCCEncryptionLib.XCeedClass' to interface type 'PCCEncryptionLib._XCeed'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{1564C589-D5A9-4187-B5C8-1101099690AB}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

What gives?

I answered my own question.......

For anbody having the same issue, you have to declare your object as ......

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.     Dim ProgType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("PCCEncryptionLib.XCeed")
  2.     Dim objEncryptor As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(ProgType)
