This is the COM Forum. If you post this at the .NET Framework Forum, you'll probably get a better response.
But, it's probably just a version problem. As I recall, there is a method to specify the correct version.

Access method of COM components through ASP gives error

Hello,

I have COM component. It contains one GetRecordSet method which takes one of the parameter ADODB.Connection and return ADODB.Recordset. But while accessing through ASP it gives error Invalid Procedure call or argument.
Same method works fine from VB and VC.
If you have any solution for it,then plz let me know.
Thanks !

How should I declare jagged arrays to expose them to VB6/VBScript??

I have a C# class which contains a jagged array as one of its properties exposed to COM:

string[][] Measurements

The property vcan easily be read/set by .Net applications but I was asked to expose it to COM applications (namely VB6 and VBScript). I was able to expose all the properties to COM except this jagged array because there's no marshalling support for jagged arrays. So, I've tried to change it from string[][] to string[,] Measurements, but now I can see this property in VB6 and when I call it I can't get the data populated in a VB array. LBound and UBound give the correct array size but this code give wrong type error:

For r = LBound(objClass.Measurements, 1) To UBound(objClass.Measurements, 1)

For f = LBound(objClass.Measurements, 2) To UBound(objClass.Measurements, 2)

sMeasurements = sMeasurements & objClass.Measurements[r, f])
Next
Next

And this code returns the data scrambled: the values in objClass.Measurements(0,0) then objCard.Measurements(1,0) then (0,1) then (1,1) etc. instead of (0,0) then (0,1) then (0,2) then (0,3) etc.:

For Each sReading In objClass.Measurements
Debug.Print sReading
Next

Any idea how I should declare the jagged array in the C# module and how I should call it from VB6 or VBScript?

Thanks,

Martha

AFAIK, this example demonstrates jagged array in VB:

Dim v As Variant, i As Long, j As Long
v = Array(Array(1, 2), Array(3, 4, 5))
For i = LBound(v) To UBound(v)
  For j = LBound(v(i)) To UBound(v(i))
    Debug.Print v(i)(j)
  Next
Next

It can be also applied to "v() As Variant".

With best wishes,

Office12 COM addin question

Hi Guys. My first post in this forumn so please bare with me. I have built an app that references office 12 because I have Office 2007 installed on my PC. However, when I build the exe and install this on another machine it doesn want to work. Is it because the other machine has office 2003 installed on it? Is there an easy way for me to get around this other than having to uninstall Office 2007 from my machine and installing Office 2003 so I can reference the correct com file and build the project with it??

The simplest and most obvious solution is to write a function that determines what version of Office is installed on the LOCAL MACHINE, and then references the existing library component based on that condition.

All COM classes have registry entries (this is what the COM Library uses to activate objects). Searching the registry is pretty simple. As I recall, Microsoft applications have thousands of registry keys and values. I would guess enumerating, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE subkeys for Microsoft subkey, and then specific subkeys for Office 12, and eventually, you're looking for a Current Version subkey and value.
Also, you might try searching here: Object Library Reference for Microsoft Office 12[^]

problem in implementing security on contact smartcard in VC++6

Hi I am implementing security on Contact base smart card which follows scosta template.In card structure ef is directly under DF and DF is directly under MF. According to the template i am implementing security on elementary file(both sac and sae attributes are specified at time of creation in fcp) according to security condition read and update of record requires verification of pin(which is already defined in pin file).

Problem is that after implementing the security attributes on card now also my card is not following that,after selecting the file i can directly read and write on record, card does not ask for verification of pin.

please help me asap...............

how i can display an icon(bitmap,png,...) on a button in an activex control. i have used LoadImage function and obtained the button without an icon as a result. When i used this function in a dialog based MFC application it worked. what is the difference of activex control ?

here what i used;

HICON hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON3), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, 0);
mb_PickUp.SetIcon(hIcon);

thanks in advance

actually in a dialog based application everything is fine for GetModuleHandle(NULL) funtion but in activex it returns NULL so it seems that is the problem. any suggestion to fix this.
thanks

Try passing it the path/name of the dll/exe your activeX lives in as in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms683199(VS.85).aspx[^]

What is your activeX written using, MFC? ATL? Win32? Whatever it is, though you could find the name/path to pass there may be a function called something like GetResourceInstance() you can call which will do it for you, have a look.

COM and deriveing

17-Mar-09 22:23

Hello, is it possible to create a COM objects structure as below:

In a dll library I define:

class T1
{
public:
   STDMETHOD(Method)();
}

STDMETHODIMP T1::Method()
{
   AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState())

   return S_OK;
}

which implements interface:

interface IT1 : IDispatch
{
   [id(1)] HRESULT Method();
};

coclass T1
{
   [default] interface IT1;
};

and then I would like to have:

class T2 : public T1
{
//something additional
}

I would like to create a COM objects from the class T2 and have all the functionality provided by class T1. E.g. I would like to call:

CComQIPtr<it2> spiT1(piT2);
spiT1->Method();
</it2>

Anyone can help?

have you had a try?
if it didn't work, maybe you could define a new interface:

interface IT2:IT1

Although this would work, T2 would be an ordinary class while T1 is a com class.

I think you want to use aggregation.

If you use the dumpbin utility to tell you which functions are exported by your COM+ EXE, you will find that it should export a number of standard COM server routines, which you can call from your client application. You don't really import the COM+ EXE, the COM library will load it when you make an In-Process activation request (for instance, CoGetClassObject).
Your COM+ EXE should export RegisterServer, which adds a number of entries to the registry on your computer (look in, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID).
This Larry Osterman blog: Registry Entries Needed to Create a COM Object[^], might be helpful.

How to use COM in such condition?

kcynic16-Mar-09 19:48

16-Mar-09 19:48

im a com beginner, i know its more complex than normal usage. Here i list some classes as following:

class A{
//...some member variables, such as c strings, and other class variables
};
class B{
//...some member variables, such as c strings, and other class variables
};
class C{
//...some member variables, such as c strings, and other class variables

A* m_pAobjects;
B* m_pBobjects;
};

In the project, there would be only one instance of class C, but there would be more than one B instances and A instance; And i can create one C instance, which will read some data from some files or generate some data on the fly; and i can get the count of its internal A or B instances, retrieve specified objects from the instances.
But, i don't know how to design the project to com architecture. My main problem is,how to design and implement the interfaces? and how to transfer the parameters between the com client and the server?

thanks
