Hi

I am calling .NET components from my Classical ASPs.
For this I strong named my assemblies, then registered them in the resistry
( using RegAsm), and put them in GAC (using GacUtil) .
Everything worked fine and my ASPs were able to call and use them.

The problem comes when my ASP code assigns an ASP object variable to a
property of a class in the assembly like:
oDotNetObject("Name") = Request("Name")
( where oDotNetObject is a class in my registered assembly )

The COM Callable Wrapper sends it as System._ComObject to .NET Runtime which
then throws exception as nothing is allowed on System._ComObject. On the
other hand, passing it as Variant solves the problem.
Dim varName = Request("Name")
oDotNetObject("Name") = varName

But this would require a significant change in my ASP pages. I want to
modify only my .NET components. Is there any way I can use this
System._ComObject in my managed code or any way I can make CCW to handle it.
I was trying to use System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal namespace to use
the System._ComObject I have not been able to do it.

Thanks in anticipation

Have a look at TypeName(Request("Name")) and you'll see you haven't got a
string yet.

You'll need to manually refer to the default value of the IStringList class or
just use CStr(Request("Name")).

Unless, of course, you want to enumerate each Name value in .NET when the URL
is ...?Name=one&Name=Two&Name=Three
in which case you'll want to inform .NET of the IStringList interface.

A simple approach may be to access these values in a module with Option Strict
Off and then use late binding.

Option Strict Off

....
SomeString = IncomingComObj.Item
