Hi,

I have a C# function being called from an XML file

I have hit a problem access a COM component
I use CreateObject to create the object but I can't access its
functions

object tchart = CreateObject("TeeChart.TChart");
tchart.Export();

If I swap to using VB.Net I can do this fine but not in C#

I know this is due to the fact that VB uses late binding and C#
doesn't.

Is there a way of doing this in C#?

Try this...

Type comType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID( "TeeChart.TChart" );
object comObject = Activator.CreateInstance( comType );

You can then use comType.InvokeMember() to call methods on comObject.

Thanks, that works
The continuous calls to InvokeMember are messy though so I'll just
have to swallow my pride and use VB :-(

Thanks anyway, Vin
