I have a VB.NET Serviced Component running in COM+ that creates a PowerPoint Application object, several slides and then saves the Presentation to disk. From within the same VB.NET serviced component I then open the saved Presentation to a FileStream object and read the contents with a BinaryReader into a Byte array to be shipped over the wire (function result Public Function GetPPTPresentation() As Byte() Implements IRemotePowerPoint.GetPPTPresentation). I then exported the COM+ package as an application proxy to be installed on a separate server. I can get the calling server to call into the .NET Serviced component and receive the Presentation no problem. I can even get PowerPoint to shutdown but the problem I am having is that the COM+ Instance Count Does Not Decrease When Called from .NET Application. FYI it is an ASP.NET (VB.NET code behind) client calling a VB.NET serviced component. Can provide the code if necessary!
