Problem installing a VB.net COM+

Hi,

I have a problem trying to install a COM+, I have one class in my library with a function which returns an Object value but when I try to register my dll I get the error: Bad Variable Type.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\regsvcs DataAccessNet.dll

I have others functions in the library but they return integers and datasets values but I get no errors on these ones only with the one that return Object type

I am trying to do this installation on a server with Windows 2000 Advanced Server OS in a terminal server

Hope you can help me
Thanks in advance

you said this was a com object right? this was object is not a .net assembly. you are suppose to use regsvr32 to register com components.

oops never mind spazed for a minute this is com+ component i am guessing.

Yes this is a COM+

Is there another way to declare my function that returns an Object type

The problem is the Object type

if you use Visual Studio then right click on the project name > Add Refference > Browse > locate your DLL and click Select

and you should be able to use your DLL like so

Dim myDLL as WhateverTheDLLWas=New WhateverTheDLLWas
myDLL.MyFunction(...)

you can also use Type Library Importer, open visual studio command prompt window and execute following following line

tblimp c:\mydir\DataAccessNet.dll /out:c:\myotherdir\NetDataAccessNet.dll
