Hi,
I have some VC++ COM DLLs and want to reuse the same DLLs in C#.net
application with Add Reference but I have a requirement for my application
that therre should not be any DLLs for registration in the installation.
Without rewriting the VC++ COM DLLs in C#.net and without registration
concept can I use the DLLs in the C#.net application. Ofcourse I feel it is
not possible but I want to clarify from the news group.
I think I have to rewrite the entire DLLs in C#.net. Greatly appreciate for
your replies ...

Do a Google search for "Registration Free COM" and you should find
some articles that explain how to do it.

Thanks for your reply. I got Reg-Free COM concept but my requirement is on
Windows 2000, XP, CE & Vista OS but it seems this concept works only on
Windows XP or higher.
 
If that is the case, then you have no choice but to register the dll in
order to use it. That, or do a full conversion of the DLL into managed
code, so that there is no registration required.
