I am trying to create a vb6 activeX dll in .Net. I used the upgrade wizard in
vs.net to load my vb6 project and it converted it to vb.net. Now I know that
I have to register the DLL from COM interop. I can check the box in vs.net on
the compiler tab to do this.
But how do I register my DLL for COM interop on another machine?

Hi Philip,
I think you may try to use the Regasm tool, which will do the job just as
the IDE do.
Assembly Registration Tool (Regasm.exe) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cptools/htm

Hi Philip, I am trying to create a vb6 activeX dll in .Net.
Technically speaking, you can´t create VB6 ActiveX dlls in .NET. You can
create DLLs using VB.NET / C# that can behave as ActiveX components using
COM Interop.
I used the upgrade wizard in
vs.net to load my vb6 project and it converted it to vb.net. Now I know
that
I have to register the DLL from COM interop. I can check the box in vs.net
on
the compiler tab to do this.
But how do I register my DLL for COM interop on another machine?
You have several options:
- Manually you can use the command-line regasm.exe utility, likely with the
/codebase switch. Check the docs about this.
- Programatically you can use the
System.RunTime. InteropServices .RegistrationSe rvices class, using the
RegisterAssembl y function, for example.
- If your setup technology is aware of registration of .NET assemblies for
COM Interop, you should instruct the setup to do this.

Can I instruct the Setup project template in vs.net 2005 to register it?

Yes. In your setup project, just set "Register" property for your DLL
file to something containing COM. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/z5s1e2wh.aspx for more details.

I asked this before, someone said I need use regasm, but it doesn;t seem to
work.
I am developing a class library which impelements a smtp sink. when I
compiled the project, the last statement is "Registering project output for
COM Interop", that registers the COM Interop on my develope machine. I am
trying to register the dll on other machine. Regsvr32 doesn't, and regasm
too. How could I register this type of dll?
Thanks!

Hi -
I have a C# .NET assembly that exposes a COM interface (basically has an
interface and class with Guid attributes).
If I compile this under VS.NET (with the "Register for COM Interop"
selected). Then I can import the TLB into C++ and use the component as a
standard COM component, it creates and I can call it's methods.
If however, I take the DLL and use REGASM to register the component. I

Both managed componet and vb 6.0 exe are in the same folder.
How Can I successfully register my component for COM?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have a dll written in C#. I need this dll being called by some un-managed
dll or app through COM.
My question is, do I have to set 'Register for COM Interop' set to true in
the project settings?
If you can point some articles about this that will be helpful also.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
