Com Callable Wrapper

[Roy Pereira]

I have the following problem:
I have a .NET component that I want to make callable
from COM enabled platforms (VB6, C++ 6.0, etc). However
this component makes use of another COM component (in this
case the AutoCAD COM interface). Acording to my
knowlegde, to create the CCW for a .NET Component, you
must generate a Strong Name Key. However, having done
that, I still can't get it to work as it prompts me for a
strong name key for the referenced COM library. Am I
doing this correctly? Please help.

Re: Com Callable Wrapper

All of its dependent assemblies MUST be strong named when you strong sign
one assembly. If you strong named assembly refers to an unmanaged COM, you
need to use TlbImp /keyfile:<filena me> to generate a strong named assembly
from the Type library.

Hope this is helpful

No, an assembly doesn't need to be strong named to be registered with
COM.
