Looking for links, books, articles on building .NET assemblies for use as COM servers
-
I'm looking for good, useful resources, both recipe-style step-by-step instructions as well as deep examinations of how one builds .NET assemblies for use in COM/ActiveX environments. Links to articles and web sites that are accessible from behind a well-protected corporate firewall would be most desirable; also, I'd like to hear about books that you yourself have used extensively for this purpose. My languages of preference are VB or C#, as my business environment is not C++-friendly. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

The best book on the subject that I have read is: .NET and COM: The Complete Interoperability Guide, by Adam Nathan[^]. It was written for the First Version of the .NET Framework, however, so some of the information (especially, syntax in code examples) will be obsolete.
