We didnt create this com dll file, we just have to use it and there are just one method call & one event handeling from dll. I tried this: Type comType = Type.GetTypeFromCLSID(new Guid("{95D4B070-6A73-11D5-95B0-0008C7E92339}")); object instance = Activator.CreateInstance(comType); But the second line fails, i dont know why!! might be some dependency, but anyway there should be a way!! Thank You

The reason is im working on a project which is shared between 20 developers and i dont want to add any reference to the project, I dont want any dependency to this dll file when i compile. So any idea? Thank You

I have a com object dll file called MyCom.dll with some classes, interfaces, methods and events. I can add it as a reference to my project in visual studio IDE and create an instance from one interface that i need: MyDllLib.InterfaceName myobject = new MyDllLib.InterfaceName(); I can also access all the events and methods for this interface via myobject. So by some reason i dont want to add this com dll file to my project references and dont ask why! My question is how can instantiate an interface from a com dll file and access it's methods and events. If i dont add it as a reference in .Net IDE so i can't reference it. Could someone recommend the best solution for this. Thank You,:confused:

How can i get windows default currency symbol as i can see it in windows reginal setting? Thanks in advance:)

yes i think so, i didn't install any driver, by theway i have windows xp pro sp2. it should be same as the usb keyboards.

:confused:Hi, I have to write a program to capture a usb barcode scanner,... as you all know, when you scan a barcode, it acts like a keyboard & just sends the barcode text to the active window. all i have to do is just to write a program which runs in the background & captures those scanned barcodes to a text file and it would not sent it to the active window,.. it's like windows message intercepting for your own purpose. i really apprecite if you can give me any sample code, or any clue. Thanks in advance

( if so how). every time when i compile my project it registers the new dll in the GAC & but it doesn't work until i restart my computer, i used to get this error ( method not find) for 2 day & when i rebooted my computer it worked fine. any clue? thanx in advance:confused:

Hi everybody, I've created one setup program on visual studio .net 2003 and the framework is ver 1.1, the problem is when i want to run my Setup.MSI file on the older version of framework (1.0) then it fails and alerts me to upgrade to 1.1 version. i have't any custom action programmed in that setup file as well. i though this setup program (msi file) is something independent from .net and framework and msi file is windows standard,..... anyways any clue?...:zzz: thanx in advance

In windows server 2003 , it doesn't matter whether you have changes worker proccess startup account in order to get higher privilage, there is some thing new in that, as you can see in the iis there is one Application pools node, the only things you need to do is to create a new pool and set the Local system account for that pool, then you can specify you website to use this pool, in home directory of your web site, and set the application pool property to use that one u created. for issue #2 i think there should be something about server extention 2002 configuration, check it plz. hope it works for u
