I would take a look through the documentation and try and find out what it expects or what the values default to if not supplied. In VB there's usually a default setting provided for the optional parameters, try using that. Sig cops got me...

Don't use this control in C#. Instead, use the System.Net.Sockets.Socket class, or the TcpClient, UdpClient, TcpListener classes which are a little more friendly to use. The data you get from the socket will be in raw bytes. You will need to use one of the System.Text.Encoding classes to turn text from the byte-oriented wire format into a string. As a starting point, try Encoding.Default. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

string.Format("{0:C}", 0) should do it i think :) xacc.ide-0.1 released! Download and screenshots

When you create an MSI package using Visual Studio .NET and include assemblies in your package, VS.NET automatically adds a launch condition which you could delete by selecting the project and clicking the appropriate toolbar icon in the Solution Explorer. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

The reason you see multiple typelib references is because they are using different GUIDs, so even if such a function existed (which it doesn't, but it isn't hard to create) it would be effective because each typelib is registering with a different GUID (otherwise you wouldn't see multiple references). Remove them manually by searching for your typelib using regedit.exe. The thing to do is eliminate the problem. You MUST use hard-coded GUIDs using the GuidAttribute for all classes and interfaces that are exposed as COM objects and interfaces. The GUID on the interface should NEVER change. If you need a new interface, implement the previous version of the interface and create a new one (like IMyInterface2), giving it a new GUID. The class GUID should typically not change. To solve your immediately problem, you should also use an assembly-level GuidAttribute for your assembly, which is used as the typelib ID when a typelib is generated: [assembly: Guid("cac7a0f0-c3a7-4039-abd7-1bc55b924bd7")] (Generate your own, though) When you register your class using regasm.exe /tlb <filename> now, the typelib will always have the same GUID and only the last path you registered will exist in the registry. You should read those links I gave a while back discussing exposing .NET controls as COM objects. It does discuss this as well. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

First thing that comes to mind is did you add the control via code? controls.add(classname) ?

As I mentioned a while back, you can implement static methods that are attributed with ComRegisterFunctionAttribute and ComUnregisterFunctionAttribute that use the Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey to do this manually. These functions are called in addition to normal registration of the class. If you can't release the typelib (.tlb file), you need to remove ALL references to objects defined by the typelib in your project and remove the control from the toolbox. If you have questions about how COM objects in the VB6 IDE, please jump over to the VB forum. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

you are right, encoding was problem, that unmanaged dll dose not support Unicode, when i use Ansi, every things gose through. I really appriciate your help and knowledge.:suss:
