I have a COM Class which is registered in to ROT, through an other application i am fetching the instance of my com class from ROT and casting it to its type giving following error.
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'ROTViewer.IHandleVIParentInfo'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{C4B3F18E-FDF1-3F0C-A6DB-F03B302CAE9F}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
Following is my COM class implementation
public interface IHandleVIParentInfo
{
Dictionary<int, string> ContainerParentredVi {get; set;}
int GetListCount();
}
[ComVisible(true)]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
[ComSourceInterfaces(typeof(IHandleVIParentInfo))]
[ProgIdAttribute("Qcs.VIParentedInfoHandler")]
[GuidAttribute(HandleVIParentedInfo.Guid)]
[DisplayName("Qcs VI Parented Info Handler")]
public class HandleVIParentedInfo : IDisposable, IHandleVIParentInfo
{
public const string Guid = "CB6BFC97-F8E3-4fce-B68B-4D01485811A1";
public Dictionary<int, string> ContainerParentredVi
{
get
{
return _containerParentredVi;
}
set
{
_containerParentredVi = value;
}
}
private Dictionary<int, string> _containerParentredVi = new Dictionary<int, string>();
public HandleVIParentedInfo()
{
//private Dictionary<int, string> _containerParentredVi = new Dictionary<int, string>();
}
#region IDisposable Members
void IDisposable.Dispose()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
#endregion
#region IHandleVIParentInfo Members
int IHandleVIParentInfo.GetListCount()
{
return ContainerParentredVi.Count;
}
#endregion
Following is method where i am type casting an object to my com class type
public static void GetIDEInstances()
{
instances = new List<object>();
Hashtable runningStationInstances = new Hashtable();
Hashtable runningObjects = GetROTContent();
object expectedObj;
//runningObjects["!{5EB461D8-71CD-4E78-A360-4CE788A93063}"].GetHashCode();
IDictionaryEnumerator rotEnumerator = runningObjects.GetEnumerator();
while (rotEnumerator.MoveNext())
{
string candidateName = (string)rotEnumerator.Key;
if (string.Compare(candidateName,"!{CB6BFC97-F8E3-4fce-B68B-4D01485811A1}",true)==0)
{
viParenting = (IHandleVIParentInfo)rotEnumerator.Value;
}
}
}
getting error in the line "viParenting = (IHandleVIParentInfo)rotEnumerator.Value;"
