hi,



I developed a .Net component (dll) in C#.  I want 

to use that component in a VB application.



I converted the dll to typelibrary file using



>>>>>tlbexp filename.dll



Then, I registered the dll using the command



>>>>>regasm filename.dll



Then I referred the filename.tlb in the VB Application.

Created an instance of the class and tried to 

access an method inside it.  But when running the 

VB Application I get the following error,

--------------------------------------------

Runtime Error



Unable to locate Assembly 'filename,ver=0.0.0.0,Loc="",SN=null"  which is

the server for CLSID 'CAFF........'

--------------------------------------------

Please help me to locate the error.



Thanks,

Regards,

Hai uma,



Here's a simple example. Create a C# file called testcomserver.cs and put

the following in it:





using System;



namespace AndyMc

{

        public class CSharpCOMServer

        {

                public CSharpCOMServer() {}

                public void SetName( string name ) { m_name = name; }

                public string GetName() { return m_name; }

                private string m_name;

        }

}

Then compile the .cs file as follows:



csc /target:library testcomserver.cs

You should get a dll, which you register like this:



regasm testcomserver.dll /tlb:testcomserver.tlb

Now you need to create a client to test your .NET COM component. VBScript

will do - put the following in a file called comclient.vbs:



Dim dotNetObj

Set dotNetObj = CreateObject("AndyMc.CSharpCOMServer")

dotNetObj.SetName ("bob")

MsgBox "Name is " & dotNetObj.GetName()

and run the script like this:



wscript comclient.vbs

And hey presto you should get a message box displayed with the text "Name is

bob".



(Note that at the time of writing there seem to be some path issues with

accessing .NET classes as COM components - to avoid problems, run

comclient.vbs from the same directory as testcomserver.dll)
