.NET assembly only PARTIALLY exposed to COM

[Andrew J. Marshall]

I built my assembly with the "Register for COM Interop" box checked.

I could reference my assembly and see the classes, but IntelliSense and the
Object Browser could not see the methods nor properties.

I used TlbExp and RegAsm with the same result.

How can I get IntelliSense and Object Browser to see the details of my
classes?

Thanks,

Sorry for replying to my own post, but ...

This article http://www.u2u.net/ArticlePage.aspx?ART=msdncominterop by
Patrick Tisseghem is awesome and it gave me my answer ...

You need to (in VB.NET)
* import System.Runtime.InteropServices
* and prefix the class declaration with
"<ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)>"
for example, <ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)> Public Class
Foo

Rebuild and, VOILA, IntelliSense and Object Browser are happy.
