I created a .NET-DLL and it should be called from a VB6 - program.
I created key.snk file added the path to the assemblyInfo-file, I gave a
GUID to all public classes, I created a tlb and ran gacutil. Also I see it
under windows/assembly! Although when running VB 6 that calls the DLL I get
an error message 'runtime error' 'assembly identity could not be
determined'! Does anyone has any idea what to try next?

Thanx for info

Rudy

You haven't got a 1.0.* in your assemblyinfo file have you? that will make
the version different at every build, and therefore different from the one
that is identified in the interop registration entries. See if your
HKCR\CLSID\{class guid} registration entries match your assembly in version,
sn.

Yes, I have, sorry forgot about that! But I haven't got a Version entry in
HKCR/.../CLSID/. Maybe that's the problem?

yes, you should turn the version number into a fixed one. btw, if you
recompile your project, don't forget to add it again to the gac and, if
necessary (I think that it all depends on waht you've changed), register it
again (by using regasm).

Sorry, I meant I forgot to mention that I HAVE got a fixed version number in
my AssemblyInfo! And I do the above steps with every recompiling. But always
the same error in VB6.
