I have a .exe application which exposes several COM
In VB 6.0 I can instantiate a class by using Set myClass = GetObject(path,
progid) where path is the path on harddisk to a file (actually a .INI file
in this case) and progid is the progid in registry.
The .exe was not running, but was started at the GetObject call and
This works fine.

Now I try to do the same in C#, but I cannot find out how.
I have tried using method GetObject in class Interaction of
assembly/namespace Microsoft.VisualBasic, but get an exception:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred
in microsoft.visualbasic.dll"
even if the strings for pathname and class (progid) are exactly the same in
the C# case as the VB 6.0 case (of course added @ before the path string to
interpret backslashes literally).

Are the strings interpreted differently between the VB 6.0 GetObject
function and Interaction.GetObject method ?

Is there a good way to do the same in C# without using Microsoft.VisualBasic
assembly ? (which is actually intended for backwards compatibility I
beleive).
