Question

I have a VB6 Active DLL that I’m trying to call from C#.

I’ve converted it using tblimp and imported it into VS 2010.

I then instantiate it using:

AppWebActiveX.Users appWebActiveX = new appWebActiveX.Users();

There’s a Users interface and a UsersClass class when I look in the object browser.

Then I call:

bool isExistingUser = appWebActiveX.IsExistingUser("cat");

bool IsExisting(string) is a valid method, according to the object browser.

However, this returns:

Unable to cast COM object of type ‘AppWebActiveX.UsersClass’ to interface type ‘AppWebActiveX._Users’. … No such interface supported …

The latest stack call is to System.StubHelpers.StubHelpers.GetCOMIPFromRCW.

I’m running the app on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (x86 – 32bit) and it’s a 32-bit DLL. I’m making the call from a C# console app.

Any advice?

Answer 1

Turns out that I’d omitted the [STAThread] attribute from the main method.
