.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / August 2003MSDN article: Deploying an Application for COM Access REALLY unclear (to me...)
Reeading the MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpcondeployingapplicationfo rcomaccess.asp?frame=true makes me really skeptic. I thought that using regasm /tlb:blabla.tlb blabla.dll will register the assembly so as to be used by COM compliant clients. To me this was crystal clear that this utility will add entries in the registry so that any client (having the exe located wherever on the pc will be able to access interface exported). However, according to the article, it seems that it has to be placed in the GAC to allow such a behavior otherwise, it will be considered as a private assembly. Am I missreading the article? Jos? I think I understand the problematic now. In fact, I did not payed too much attention to what was placed in the registry. I thought it was a reference to the managed dll (which is not true [by default]. It is a ref to mscoree.dll). So far, I always ticked the option in VS.Net to register the dll for com interop. Doing so will somehow use the regasm with at least /tlb and /codebase options. This will add reference to the managed location and then allow the dll to be loaded from its original location using the following probing: [taken from a post of F. Powel] regasm /codebase for ComInterop assembly: 1. Look for the the assembly in the GAC 2. Local directory (.ie directory of the executable) 3. Look for the the assembly using the codebase When the ComInterop assembly refereneces another assembly: 1. Look for the the assembly in the GAC 2. Look for the the assembly using the codebase 3. Local directory (.ie directory of the executable) Jos? > Reeading the MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpcondeployingapplicationfo rcomaccess.asp?frame=true > makes me really skeptic. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Jos?
