Using .NET-created components

[John Spiegel]

Hi all,

Like many of my questions, I'm working through a book's examples. Topic at
hand is component services and I'm trying to use a component built earlier
in the chapter that was built and registered. When I attempt to add a
reference to it in another project, it shows up as a COM object, as I would
expect, but I receive the error message indicating:

"A reference to 'filename' could not be added. Converting the type library
to a .NET assembly failed. Type library filename was exported from a CLR
assembly and cn not be re-imported as a CLR assembly."

Which makes some sense to me. I suppose my question would be: Can you ever
add a COM reference to a wrappered .NET component? Could it pertain to
having since added the component to the GAC? The book MIGHT be written to
the 1.0 framework. Could this be something that changed with 1.1?

I've worked literally hundreds of examples by this author and he's seemed to
rarely if ever make this sort of mistake.

TIA,

John

Hi. Try to add reference to dll, not tlb in References (using Browse).
