Re: Regarding, Using Com DLL in WindowsCE Device Applications

So you've registered the control, but you're getting a class not registered
exception? One of those two is either not true or you've registered it with
a GUID other than what you're attempting to create it with.

It's impossible to do. The DLL was compiled for a different OS and
processor. Without source code there's no way to make it useful in CE.
Even with source it could take a lot of work to port it.

thank you for your quick reply.

we don`t have the source code for the DLL.So do you know any other way
to
resolve the problem.
Is there any 3rd party tool available to convert the dll to work with
windows CE

Thanks & Regards

hi,
I am new to mobile applications(windowsCE Device Application C#). I
added
a
com dll as reference.when i run the application it gives an error
message
like ...
"COM object with CLSID '{21723099-8833-4F74-94F4-BEC4B158CFBB}'
cannot
be
created due to the following error: Class not registered ."

But the same Com DLL is working fine in .net windows application.The
only
problem with WindowsCE Device application.
Is my approach is correct to use COM DLL in WindowsCE Applications?.
Or
Is
there another way to register com DLL to use in windowsCE device
application.
Please help me .

Kiran
