Register DLL for COM interop and use it in ASP

[Nicke]

I have accomplished this on my machine with vs2005 but how can I deploy
the dll on a web server for example?

Has anyone made a deployment project that does this?

this is my class:

<ComClass(StringEncoder.ClassId, StringEncoder.InterfaceId,
StringEncoder.EventsId)> <System.Serializable()> _
Public Class StringEncoder
Public Const ClassId As String =
"B9B4F08B-0363-4480-AF23-C6AFCF555FC5"
Public Const InterfaceId As String =
"6BFAF313-95A2-4636-966E-38EBD4E73569"
Public Const EventsId As String =
"72914E73-C5AE-4059-89DB-A8E991FE13F4"
Private _decodedText As String
Private _encodedText As String
Private _key As String
Private _errorText As String

Public Property EncodedText() As String
Get
Return _encodedText
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_encodedText = value
End Set
End Property

Public Property DecodedText() As String
Get
Return _decodedText
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_decodedText = value
End Set
End Property

Public Property Key() As String
Get
Return _key
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_key = value
End Set
End Property

Public Property ErrorText() As String
Get
Return _errorText
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_errorText = value
End Set
End Property

Sub New()
MyBase.New()
End Sub

Sub Decode() as String
End Sub

Sub Encode() as String
End Sub
End Class

Hi,

Use regasm.exe to register the dll

Ok. This seems to be a common issue.
I have registered the dll using regasm but I cant use the dll from my
asp page.

Is registering with regasm enough to make it work?

If I use gacutil on my webserver then it works but do I have to use
gacutil?
Gacutil is rarely mentioned in the .net dll duscussion.

Almost every solution to this issue with .net dlls is to use regasm...

Thanks. /Nicke
