.net com object

[nos...@nospam.com]

Hello,

I have a com object that I need ported over to .net. They dont go over
too easy, since there is no .net equilivilant of ComSrv. Yet I cant figure
out how to create a com object in delphi for .net.

Can anyone help?

Creating COM objects in .NET is very different to Delphi.
Basically any object can be surfaced as a COM object. Use the
ComVisible attribute to specify what you want to be visible via COM
(Classes, methods, properties) and give your class a Guid attribute.
After compiling your assembly use RegAsm to register it.

Thanks Marc,

I set the ComVisible to true and gave it a guid, I still can not reg the
dll with regsvr32. Since Im new to .net can you fill in here to give me a
jump start?

Class1.pas has a class in it I want to expose to com....

library comtest;

{%DelphiDotNetAssemblyCompiler
'$(SystemRoot)\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\System.dll'}
{%DelphiDotNetAssemblyCompiler
'$(SystemRoot)\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\System.Data.dll'}
{%DelphiDotNetAssemblyCompiler
'$(SystemRoot)\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\System.XML.dll'}

uses
SysUtils,
Classes,
System.Reflection,
System.Runtime.InteropServices,
Class1 in 'Class1.pas'; <-want to expose class1.testproc()

//other assembly code generated by delphi

[assembly: ComVisible(True)]
[assembly: Guid('E0782317-10A6-4CB3-B9F1-A3616CDFEDAF')]
[assembly: TypeLibVersion(1, 0)]

begin
//do I put something here to make the procs visible?

end.

Thanks again Marc.

You need to use regasm to register .NET assemblies for COM. If you are
using Delphi 2005 you can also use tregsvr.

Thanks Marc,

Eventually, this com object needs to be called from jscript using the
createObject( myInterface.myClass) function

(Its for a windows media center plug in ). Am I on the right path to be
able to do that using the techique you described?

thanks,
Rich
