Call a .NET dll in Eclipse [message #925206] Thu, 27 September 2012 13:46 Go to next message

Hi,

I am working in an eclipse PDE where i need to have a COM dll created in VB.NET to be loaded in my current project.
I already have a VC++ COM dll working but the same is not working with the .NET COM dll.

The working snippet of the VC++ COM dll is below:
OleFrame frame = new OleFrame(parent, SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL);
sim = new OleControlSite(frame, SWT.NONE, "SimulatorGUI.SimulatorGUICtrl");
sim.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_INPLACEACTIVATE);
sim.doVerb(OLE.OLEIVERB_SHOW);
this.setPartName("Track Layout");
mSimIntf = new OleAutomation(sim);


This works great but when i replace the same with my dll prog id instead it does not work and throes an error saying "Could not create the view: Failed to create Ole Client. result = -2147467262"

My VB.NET is fine and properly exported to COM. See the snippet of the same below for reference:

Imports System
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Namespace SIMIICOMComponent

    <Guid("D2964724-F498-4ad3-8089-4B8FFCAAA8B8"), _
        InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)> _
        Public Interface _ISIMCOMClass
        <DispId(1)> Function MlFileInput(ByVal FileName As String) As System.Windows.Forms.Form
        <DispId(2)> Sub Load()

    End Interface

    <Guid("776176c4-cec0-4a6a-b3d5-e039a72029e1"), _
 ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None), _
 ProgId("SIMIICOMComponent.SIMIIComClasss")> Public Class SIMIIComClass
        Implements _ISIMCOMClass
        Private frm As frmMain
        Public SIMIIComClass()

        Public Function MlFileInput(ByVal FileName As String) As System.Windows.Forms.Form Implements _ISIMCOMClass.MlFileInput
            frm = New frmMain
            frm.FileName = FileName
            Return frm
        End Function

        Public Sub Load() Implements _ISIMCOMClass.Load
            frm.LoadProgram(frm.FileName, False)
        End Sub
    End Class

End Namespace


Please help resolve this issue.

Regards,
Ravi

SWT just makes the required native COM calls, so if it's working for
your C++ case then there doesn't seem to be an SWT problem here.

COM error code -2147467262 is "No such interface supported", so
presumably it's a problem with your VB.NET-created .dll, either it's not
registering a component, or it's not registering an interface that a
component needs to be supporting. Maybe someone with more VB.NET
experience than myself can spot the problem.
