Mike, The property that I am accessing is actually just a public function. Here is the code for my test class :
Imports System.EnterpriseServices Imports CTRL Imports System.Threading <Assembly: ApplicationActivation(ActivationOption.Server)> <Assembly: ApplicationName("SimpleTrans")> <Assembly: Description("Simple Transactional application to show Enterprise Services")> <Assembly: ApplicationAccessControl(False)> ' <Transaction(TransactionOption.RequiresNew)> _ Public Class VBServCom Inherits EnterpriseServices.ServicedComponent Private oLib As CTRL.Library ' Shows Explicit SetComplete/SetAbort. Public Function DoTrans() As String Dim name As String name = "this is a test" DoTrans = name End Function Public Function GetLibrary() As Object oLib = New CTRL.Library ' make a new Library object GetLibrary = oLib ' finally, return the Library object ... End Function ' Show implicit SetComplete/SetAbort. <AutoComplete(True)> _ Public Sub DoTxAuto() 'Do stuff End Sub End Class My clients code is the following : Imports ServicedCOM.VBServCom Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim o As ServicedCOM.VBServCom Dim s As String Dim oLibrary As CTRL.Library o = New ServicedCOM.VBServCom s = o.DoTrans Console.WriteLine("Result was : " & s) oLibrary = o.GetLibrary() Console.WriteLine("Result was : " & oLibrary.Version) End Sub End Module So I am getting the error when I try and execute the oLibrary.Version method. The o.GetLibrary() call executes but I'm not sure its returning anything useful. Also, the CTRL.Library object inherits from MarshalByRef so I know it can be remoted. I didn't think that I had to setup channels or sinks when using Component Services/EnterpriseServices. I know how to do this when doing remoting but I'm not sure how it would work in the Component Services/EnterpriseServices configuration.
