{System.__ComObject}

In Word VBA the expression "ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Style returns
"Heading 3"

In VB.Net the expression "appWord.ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Style"
returns "{System.__ComObject} [System.__ComObject]: {System.__ComObject}"

How can I get vb.net to return "Heading 3" instead of "{System.__ComObject}
[System.__ComObject]: {System.__ComObject}".

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Ron,

When .NET objects need to interact with COM objects, they use "wrappers" and
sometimes when querying the type you get "System.__ComObject". To know the
actual type behing a __ComObject, use:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Information.Typename(variable)

Use 'ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Style.NameLocal' instead.
