Working with COM for the first time I have got this COM dll, say ABCServer.dll, i created a RCW and added reference to it in my project. Now my application creates several threads and each thread creates certain classes from COM dll and works with them. But then each thread is waiting while other thread is working with certain class from COM dll. The whole purpose of modifying my application was enabling multi-threading on it. Now when multithreading is happening at my side, the COM causing it to be sequential. Although each thread is creating new instances, why are they waiting for others to

i'm faced with implementing an IDispatch interface. There are four methods, and fortunately 3 of them are easy: function TIEEventsSink.GetTypeInfoCount(...): HResult; { Result := E_NOTIMPL; } function TIEEventsSink.GetTypeInfo(...): HResult; { Result := E_NOTIMPL; } function TIEEventsSink.GetIDsOfNames(...): HResult; { Result := E_NOTIMPL; } It's the last method, Invoke that is difficult. Here i am faced with having to actually case the DispID , and call my appropriate method; unmarhsalling parameters from a variant array. function Invoke( dispIdMember: DISPID; riid: REFIID; lcid: LCID; wFlags

I'm rewriting an old VBSCript WSC component into a nicer C# COM Component. For a horrid reason the old component in one place is passed the Server Context, IServer by using Set objCurr = CreateObject("MTxAS.AppServer.1") Set objCurrObjCont = objCurr.GetObjectContext() Set component.servercontext = objCurrObjCont("Server") this is then used to do a standard Server.MapPath("/somelocation") However I'm stumped upon what to do in the .Net COM Component, System.Web.HttpContext.Current.MapPath() doesn't work as expected as there is no Web Context. I tried passing the context from Classic ASP into

I have the following code in C# which I try to port to PowerShell. But I don't know how to port this cast: ((_ISkypeEvents_Event)skype).CallStatus += CallStatusHandler; If I just type [Skype4COM.ISkypeEvents_Event] in my PowerShell console I get: Unable to find type [Skype4COM.ISkypeEvents_Event]: make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded. However, I can get all the members of the $skype object: $skype = New-Object -ComObject Skype4COM.Skype The following line doesn't work: $skypeevent = [Skype4COM._ISkypeEvents_Event]$skype If I try to call the method directly on the $skype

I am building a COM object in x86 assembly using NASM. I understand COM quite well and I understand x86 assembly pretty well, but getting the two to mesh is getting me hung up... (by the way, if you're thinking of attempting to dissuade me from using x86 assembly, please refrain, I have very particular reasons why I'm building this in x86 assembly!) I am trying to build a vtable to use in my COM object, but I keep getting strange pointers, rather than actual pointers to my functions. (I'm thinking that I'm getting relative offsets or that NASM is embedding temporary values in there and they're

I'm new to the world of Mac programming. Can someone please tell me what the equivalent of reusable COM components are in Mac and some links to a good resource to get started (in creating reusable COM-like components and referring those components from a calling app)? Thank you. Clarification: - I wish to know if there exist a similar technology, which is supported at OS level. - I asked the question because I want to port some of my apps (which make use of existing type libraries from Windows as well as those that I make) to Mac. - Is it possible that I create wrapper classes for my existing

I have recently updated a Visual Basic 6 application that is an ActiveX exe, running on Windows XP. I have a couple of testers for this application who have received a copy of the exe and are attempting to run it. However, they are getting an error message "Unexpected error;quitting" when trying to do so. A key difference between their testing and my testing is that on the machines I tested on, I have admin rights and was able to register the application using the appname.exe /regserver command line. Reading the details at MS Support about file registration appears unclear: Visual Basic
