Tlbimp is a good solution if you are comfortable going through COM interop when calling from managed code. If you use System.EnterpriseServices, you can bypass the COM interop layer when calling from managed code in some cases. - John Noss No warranties expressed or implied.

In addition, you will have to Add a reference to the interop assembly from your application. When using tlbimp, you can create a new file name to distinguish between the COM+ DLL and the Interop Assembly. For example: tlbimp.exe MyComPlus.dll /out: InteropMyComPlus.dll hth Jekke Bladt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/11/2003 01:02 PM Please respond to "Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics."

Charles-- In order to call your COM dll from .net, you need to generate a RCW (runtime callable wrapper) using a .net utility that I believe is called tlbimp. The RCW is a .net assembly that will emulate the interface of your COM-based classes. You will not have to recompile your COM component and you will be able to deploy the COM DLL and the RCW side-by-side. --Jekke -- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.
