Folks,
I am having serious problems with a VB COM dll not working in an ASP.Net
project. Two of my co-workers have gotten it working. The one who figured
it out just left for a 2 week vacation. The other and I are wracking our
brains trying to troubleshoot this.
It seems that the DLL (via the Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW)) is missing
elements (properties mostly). I don't get any kind of error when I make a
VS project reference to the COM server. My understanding is that this is
the point at which .Net builds the RCW. So the RCW is in the project, but
errors come up indicating that "property/method xyz is not a member". I use
intellisense on the object to "discover" it's members, and sure enough, some
are missing. I just did the same on the other guy's machine. All the
members are there. Something else I noted was that I seemed to have
different class members than his did, not just missing ones. It seems
consistent that mine is missing properties but contains some, though not
all, methods. We are both using the same version of the DLL, can't say how
many times we have checked that. We've tried removing everything and
starting from scratch, registering the COM DLL, adding it as a reference to
the VS project etc.
Anybody have any idea what's going on here??
