I have a C# program that uses a COM object in late binding:
Type DllObj;
object ClsObj;
DllObj = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("MyDLL.MyClass");
ClsObj = Activator.CreateInstance(DllObj);
My problem is that after the call is returned, the DLL MyDLL.DLL is stil in memory. I can see it using the Process Explorer utility.
How can I release that DLL?
My original code used early binding, and I released the COM object after using it by calling System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(). It does not seem to work when I pass it the ClsObj.

thanks but I cannot call CoFreeUnusedLibraries() from a .NET C# code.
|
|
|
|
|
I believe it can be called using P/Invoke just like any other Win32 API.

I have an application(MFC), which should work with some "registration-free" com-components. I have extended the the application manifest and created a "com-manifest", as shown in the ms-examples. Everything works fine.
BUT, one of my menuitems starts a userthread which needs one of the
"registration-free" com-components, an ocx. The creation of the component succeeeds, but the QuickActivate() fails with an access violation.
Some ideas what goes wrong? 
Hoping for help, thank you.

A .ocx file sounds like an ActiveX control dll, and ActiveX controls can only run in the user interface thread. It seems likely that whatever object you need to access would need special thread safety additions. If the component you need is itself an ActiveX control, then your problem is more difficuld. You can either find some way to get the control accessed from the UI thread, or you could factor out whatever you need access to into a thread safe component.

Hi,
I am having an issue compiling the ATL/Com dll;
I have Three classes and their interfaces in a com dll as:
1- IMailInterface
2- IMyInterface1
3- IMyInterface2
Now,MFC application uses these interfaces. My application will never directly deal with 2nd and 3rd interface. Everything will be done with the help of IMainInterface. I want to add a method to IMainInterace as
GetMyInterface1(IMyInterface1** ptr); which will retrun the IMyInterface1 pointer
But while comiling getting an error error as:
D:\Work_ganesh\MPlusSrvOpticalDevice\Work In Progress\Ganesh\Samples\DemoCOM\DemoCOM.idl(18):error MIDL2025 : syntax error : expecting a type specification near "IMyInterface1"
D:\Work_ganesh\MPlusSrvOpticalDevice\Work In Progress\Ganesh\Samples\DemoCOM\DemoCOM.idl(18) : error MIDL2026 : cannot recover from earlier syntax errors; aborting compilation
Error executing midl.exe.
I tried adding header file but it didn’t worked.
Thanks.

The forward declaration will help:
interface IMyInterface1;
...<br />
[uuid...]<br />
interface IMyInterface : Ixxxx<br />
{<br />
...GetMyInterface1([...]IMyInterface1** ptr); <br />
};
With best wishes,

hi,
i wrote a program that changes the titel of a document.(the text that is displayed in the explorer if you enable the column "titel")
i used this sample-code for doing that: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/SummInfoPropSetFile.aspx[^]
so far setting the titel works fine, but if i open the file with word and click on properties i should see the whole text i set. but i only see the first letter of the titel text i wrote in the file.
the explorer displays the name correct and in full length so i'm not sure what i am during wrong, can someone help me?
my code to write the titel of files:
<br />
bool FileManager::setNewTitelOfFile(std::wstring path, std::wstring titel)<br />

<br />
HRESULT hr = S_OK;<br />
IPropertyStorage *pPropStg = NULL;<br />
IPropertySetStorage *pPropSetStg = NULL;<br />
PROPSPEC propspec; <br />
PROPVARIANT propWrite;<br />
<br />

Hey Everybody!
I wrote a COM in C#, and I imported teh tlb in c++, and calling a function without parameters works great!
The problem is that when I call a function in c# that has parameters I'm getting
HRESULT == "E_OUTOFMEMORY"
also, in the output I'm getting:
"Access violation reading location 0x0328fffc."
just to give some more information, here are the functions:
public void printme() { Console.WriteLine("It's ALIVE! ALIVE!"); } // <--- Works great!
public void printme(string text) { Console.WriteLine(text); } <--- returns E_OUTOFMEMORY! 
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

|

Please, post some C++ code where you call "printme" nethod. I think you have a mistake there.
With best wishes,
Vita

Thanks!
Here is the C++ code:
::CoInitialize(NULL);
ITestPtr ptrTest;
HRESULT hr = ptrTest.CreateInstance(CLSID_CTest);
BSTR text(L"Text");
::SysAllocString(text); // <-- I tried with and without allocating string.
hr = ptrTest->printme(text);
::CoUninitialize();
Thanks again!
|
|
|
|
|
BSTR text = SysAllocString(L"Text");
hr = ptrTest->primetime(text);
SysFreeString(text);
ptrTest->Release();
|
|
|
|

Hey
first of all Thanks! 
I found the problem, I just had to use _bstr_t instead of BSTR! pretty weird eh...?
Thanks again!

Hi,
I have a Excel macro.
I have an array with values (example)
Human
Animal
Cooldrink
Telephone
I have any input parameter of "Animal 3". It loops through the array to search for a match, for example, if it checks the following:
Animal 3 = Animal, then it must bring back true.
It must just search for a partial value. How do I do this?
Thanks

Hi, i want to use an activeX (component, control, i don't know which) to control an device, and send some data to perform a standard web login (ok ok a little unstandard).
the device is a biometrical reader (yes, you put your finger on  ), i had read some documentation about, but i have a lots of questions yet...
questions like:
- Can i develop an average activeX object, using the visual studio c++ express (without the MFC, ATL, etc..)??
- Is possible install that features on my version of visual studio (express)??
- Can i access to my device from the activeX object....
Sorry, if my questions seems so newbies : )... but i really appreciate your help

Hi, my IT department have doubts if the COM components in production environment really correspond to the source code in the visual source safe. It's the hard truth.
So...I'm searching for methods to verify is the source code is valid.
Just recompiling the source and compare the generated DLL with the DLL in production environment is not a valid way. As I have seen, even on sequential compilations the generated DLLs (with binary compatibility) are different, and not only on some bytes (like timestamps) as I thought.
I'm also thinking about building a tool to extract the typelibraries to compare them, it's not the final comparison but can help in cases the interface is different.
Any ideas ? A comparison tool telling Yes or No (the two COM DLLs are the same or not) would be my dream
EDIT: the source code is VB6.
Thanks for any help.

I'm learning ATL so i tried to write a simple project supporting connection points.
I want to have a situation that one COM client can raise an event on other clients.
1) I've created new ATL Project. I selected 'Executable' and 'allow merging proxy/stub' options
2) I've added an ATL Simple Object with 'support Connection Points' option. I named it 'Test'
3) I've added a method
[id(1), helpstring("method InsertText")] HRESULT InsertText([in] BSTR txt);
to the ITest interface
4) I've addedn a method
[id(1), helpstring("method OnTextInserted")] HRESULT OnTextInserted([in] BSTR txt);
to the ITestEvents interface
5) I've regenerated CProxy_ITestEvents
6) I've implemented InsertText method
<br />
STDMETHODIMP CTest::InsertText(BSTR txt)<br />
{<br />
this->Fire_OnTextInserted (txt) ;<br />
<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}<br />
7) I've added DECLARE_CLASSFACTORY_SINGLETON(CTest) to CTest
8) I've built the project
Next i wanted to test it so i've created a WindowsForms C# Application. I've added reference to my Test component. I've put a textbox and a button on it and implemented the button click to call InsertText method with textboxvalue as a parameter.
i've created also a secon application with a listbox:
<br />
private testLib.TestClass a;<br />
<br />
public Form1()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
a = new testLib.TestClass();<br />
a.OnTextInserted += new testLib._ITestEvents_OnTextInsertedEventHandler(this.Dn);<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void Dn(string b)<br />
{<br />
listBox1.Items.Add(b);<br />
}<br />
<br />
I think that clicking button in first application should add items to the listbox in the second application but it doesnt work.
Moreover, I've added to the second application a button calling InsertText method so when clicking this button an event should by both raised and handled by the same client. But it still doesnt work.
And now something strange. When i start 3 or more instances of the second application (in modified form) it starts to work! Event is properly handled after the button is clicked!
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi
I want to send some data from a C# application to a COM dll written in C++. I'm not able to figure out how to set this up. I'm a beginner on both C# and C++.
I'm trying to create a .NET library (C#) containg an event and then import this dll to the C++ app (COM dll) with #import "...\filename.tlb" ... Then I'm using CoCreateInstance and so on to instanciate this.
Does anyone know of a good and simple example that shows how to set this up with a C# application, a .NET library and a COM dll (C++)?
Maybe this is totally wrong method to solve my problem. You may have any other good solutions to this.
I have looked at several articles on the Net, but haven't found the "right" one yet...
I appreciate very much your help here.

Hi,
Here is the code of one of method of my COM object.
STDMETHODIMP Cmytestobj::FindWindowExWrapper(HWND hwndParent, HWND hwndChildAfter, LPCTSTR lpszClass, LPCTSTR lpszWindow, HWND* hwndRetWnd)<br />
{<br />
AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());<br />
<br />
HWND hRetFndWnd;<br />
*hwndRetWnd = FindWindowEx(hwndParent, hwndChildAfter, lpszClass, lpszWindow);<br />
return S_OK;<br />
}
First Question;
Is my code correct i.e. will it going to return wnd return by FindWindowEx.
Second Question:
I have generated an interop of that COM DLL and want to use that in my C# project, can anyone please tell me how can I use that in my C# project.
I have added the reference of interop in my project and able to create object of class Cmytestobj, but don’t know how to call that method, what should I replace for “HWND and LPCTSTR” data type in C# project.
Regards,
Mushq
