i'm converting C++ to C++/CLI and would like to expose some managed classes as COM objects. In C# it was easy and setting [ComVisible] & inheriting from interface (also ComVisible) did the job. However C++ project build as C++/CLI does not export DllRegisterServer.
Here is sample project (started from CLR Console Application project in VS 2008).
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("E3CF8A18-E4A0-4bc3-894E-E9C8648DC1F0")]
[InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType::InterfaceIsDual)]
public interface class ITestInterface
{
void TestMethod();
};
[ComVisible(true)]
[Guid("1514adf6-7cb0-4561-9fbb-b75c0467149b")]
public ref class CliComClass : ITestInterface
{
public:
virtual void TestMethod()
{
}
};
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Hello World");
return 0;
}
When I run regsvr32 on output .exe I got error saying DllRegisterServer was not found. I've tried google for some help but with no success.
You need to use TlbExp instead, TlbExp is the tool use to export managed classes to COM, it will read the assembly find the ComVisible type and register them.
