Equivalent code of CreateObject in C#

Question

I have a code in VB6. Can anyone tell me how to write it in C#. This code is below:

Set Amibroker = CreateObject(\"Broker.Application\")
Set STO

Here's a snippet from the C# code I used to automate Amibroker (from when I went down that path). You'll need to reference System.Runtime.Interopservices

    System.Type objType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Broker.Application");

    dynamic comObject = System.Activator.CreateInstance(objType);

    comObject.Import(0, fileName, "default.format");

    comObject.RefreshAll();

Typing a dot won't bring up the comObject internal methods, though.

All I can say about this method is - it works, like a charm, but stay away from it, like David said. I got my inspiration for this method from:

For another angle of attack, you may want to check out (I think this is early binding):

Hope at least some of this help you. I've used both these methods with Amibroker and C#, but I ended up leaving them behind. COM and Amibroker don't mix well. Even TJ says so.

Good luck anyway.
