Folks,

Quick question. I've created a .NET library component that will be used by
some of my MFC C++ customers by making the .NET component COMVisible (ie I
will create the .NET Component in C++ as a COM object). I'm creating a simple
MFC Dialong application to test the component. Everything works great except
for one thing.
In the static constructor of the .NET component I throw a
System.ApplicationException if a certain condition is not met e.g.,

//--- DOTNET CODE
static MyCustomComponent()
{
   if (!condition)
       throw new System.ApplicationException("Condition Not Met");
}

Here is the C++ code that instantiates the component

//--- C++
CoInitialize(NULL);
MyCustomComponent::ICompnentPtr m_pComponent;
HRESULT hr = m_pComponent.CreateInstance("MyCustomComponent.Component");

If the the condition above is not met in the static constructor then the hr
variable in the C++ code comes
back as 0x80040154 Class not registered. This seems normal but my question
is this. Is there any way to
extract the error message from my exception? I would like to display the
error message "Condition Not Met"
as opposed to having to create this in the C++ application.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance,
Anthony Yott
