Hi

I forget to add, it throws an exception "specified case is not valid".

my codes like this:

'it is the same with all the methods
Friend WithEvents AxMYACT1 As AxMYACT_ActiveX.AxMYACT or Dim AxMYACT1 As New AxMYACT_ActiveX.AxMYACT or  Dim AxMYACT1 As Object

'''
' do my stuff
'''

'than release
Try
   System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(Me.AxMYACT1 ) 'it throws an exception "specified case is not valid"
Catch ex As Exception
    System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
Finally
   Me.AxMYACT1 .Dispose()
   Me.AxMYACT1  = Nothing
End Try

How can I call the release without the exception?

Thanks
 Hi,

 I try that, it does not work at all.

   Are you calling:
   System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(comObj) in addition
   to removing the managed references to the com object?

     Hi all,

     I am trying to put a Vb6.0 activeX control into a VB.net project. The Vb 6.0 activeX control works fine in a VB6.0 app.

     But the problem comes when I close down the Vb.net app. I get the"exception privileged error".  I think it is because the ActiveX components are not shut down in the necessary order when the application ends. I already call dispose and set the control to nothing. So, is there a way to force the activeX control unload all dll and component?

     Thank you all in advance :)

Hi Grant,

I have your problem with my ActiveX ctl this morning. It takes me 1/2 day to fix that, and I think you are right. Something wrong with the VS 's wrapper class. Anyway, it is the clock different in my PC and my client PC. I accidentally set my PC clock to April 23,2005 (therefore, my activeX's time stamp is April 23,2005), and my client PC has the right date.

 If it is not your own ActiveX ctl or you do not have access to the source code, it is extreme hard to debug. In my case, I find an orphan pointer inside one of my ActiveX ctl's supporting dll. It takes me 1-1/2 day :) The bug only happens when I am doing something with the ActiveX ctl. The app closed with no problem when I only loaded the ActiveX ctl with my .Net app.
 Anyway, may be one of the ActiveX WebBrowser control's dll get fix in those no problem PC

   EggHead, I had the same problem with the AxWebBrowser control, in fact I still have the problem.   I discovered that it only happens on my Laptop and Home PC.   I tried a couple of other machines at my work, and the app closed with no problem.   I think it is a conflict with Visual Studio.
