I wanted to add custom properties for my application file type, just like Microsoft Word file tyep .docx has properties on Details Pane in vista and window 7 that show author property and e.t.c trying to do the same for my application but have no clue yet. working in .net2.0 .i dont know what i am doing wrong, using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Runtime.CompilerServices; using System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes; using Microsoft.Win32; namespace TestShell { [ComImport] [InterfaceType

I create the following class library in C#: [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual)] //[Guid(<Generate GUID here>)] public interface _None1 { int retval { get; } } [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] //[Guid(<Generate GUID here>)] [ProgId("Lotr.Test")] public class None : _None1 { public int retval { get { return 1; } } } Then I compile it using "Register for COM Interop" and "Make Assembly COM-visible" options. When I try to access it using Excel 2007 VBA on my machine, works fine. However, if I take the .dll and .tlb files to another machine, and then use regasm to register it

I have a plugin that I'm trying to create as a sample for an application from the company I work for. I'm trying to write this plugin in Python. The way the plugin architecture works is that the plugin needs to implement an interface defined in a provided COM type library. So it is a COM client to that type library and in the end gets registered as a COM Server to the registry and the application by giving it the ClassID for late-bound COM by the application. I'm using pythoncom and win32com and have used makepy.py to generate the needed python code from the type libarary but I can't seem to

I have created an in-process COM object (DLL) using ATL. Note that this is an object and not a control (so has no window or user-interface.) My problem is that I am trying to fire an event from a second thread and I am getting a 'Catastrophic failure' (0x8000FFFF). If I fire the event from my main thread, then I don't get the error. The second thread is calling CoInitializeEx but this makes no difference. I am using the Apartment threading model but switching to Free Threaded doesn't help. The fact I am trying to do this from a second thread is obviously crucial. Is there an easy way to do

I have installed my windows application that uses TeeChart ActiveX (a COM Component for charting) using ClickOnce. If I register manually TeeChart using regsvr32 teechart8.ocx, my application works fine. But I want and I need to install the application using ClickOnce. How can I do that? Orion Edwards ClickOnce can only copy files. So you have these options: Use Reg-Free COM as Jeff Hall suggests . This is probably the best option if you can do it. Run regsvr32 manually when your .exe file first loads (before it tries to access the COM objects) Create a custom clickonce prerequisite package
