'Type' to 'Structure' help
-
Agh! My sample code uses 'Type', but VS.NET tells me it is no longer supported - I am to use 'Structure' instead. So I need help converting this from type to structure: Type tServerType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WMSServer.Server", ); Help? ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug!

That's not going to work.
Type.GetTypeFromProgIdwill always return a Type, not a structure. There is no way to convert one to a structure either. If you useType.GetTypeFromProgIdon a COM server, like "Scripting.FileSystemObject", it will always return a type ofSystem.__ComObject. What are you trying to do with this?

I am confounded at the interplay between VB froms and ASP pages and the code on each. Half the samples I want are in ASP and half are in VB, and frankly I don't understand how the two work together in Visual Studio.) In VB, a sample looks like this: --- Imports Microsoft.WindowsMediaServices.Interop Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Dim tServerType As Type Dim RemoteServer As WMSServer Try tServerType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WMSServer.Server", "server_name") ' Create an instance of the remote server object locally. RemoteServer = Activator.CreateInstance(tServerType) --- but, no matter WHAT I try, I get 'access denied'. I have been configuring my systems for 5 days now. ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug! Let's not get caught with our pants down **AGAIN**!

Do you have two servers for your app? One is the web server and the other is a media server with Window Media Services installed? Are they arranged in a domain environment or are they workgroup with each having it's own set of user accounts?

Two servers: one web, one media. Different domains. I could set them up in the same domain if you think thast would make things easier. ________________________________________________________________________ Dave Y10K bug! Let's not get caught with our pants down **AGAIN**! (DC 02002)

Your best solution is to get both servers into the same domain. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
