How CallService is defined in IDL file? If it's "CallService([in] VARIANT *p1)", then you cannot change the parameter. If it's "CallService([in,out] VARIANT *p1), then you cannot receive the parameter in Integer.

IAC, VB passes myInt variable as VT_BYREF | VT_I2 to be possible to change the myInt value. It's made only during call some method. Inside VB don't store variant by this manner.

STDMETHODIMP CDCSClient::CallService( VARIANT *p )
{
VariantClear( p );
p->vt = VT_BSTR;
p->bstrVal = SysAllocString( L"abc" );
return S_OK;
}

If you desire to pass BSTR by reference, you should keep out this address and make sure to free this BSTR after using.

BSTR g_pBSTR = NULL; // global scope, so somewhere should be "if (!g_pBSTR) SysFreeString(g_pBSTR);"

STDMETHODIMP CDCSClient::CallService( VARIANT *p )
{
VariantClear( p );
p->vt = VT_BSTR | VT_BYREF;
if (!g_pBSTR) g_pBSTR = SysAllocString( L"abc" );
p->pbstrVal = &g_pBSTR;
return S_OK;
}

With best wishes,
Vita
