I have a vb.net dll which I imported in an unmanaged c++ project.

I successfully created an object of the class object using:

CComPtr< IWSconnection > pIWSconnection; 
pIWSconnection.CoCreateInstance( __uuidof(IWSconnection ) ); 

Then, when I tried to call a method from the dll:
pIWSconnection.connect(…);
I am getting an error: pIWSconnection undeclared identifier.

Why would the object work with ‘CoCreateInstance’, and not with ‘connect’?

TIA

    Your pIWSconnection variable is probably out of the scope when you call connect.
    You need to use -> to call methods of the interface wrapped by CComPtr, by the way, . is for members of the CComPtr class.
