Com variant
Hi,
I'm calling a COM function on an IUnknown interface that returns a variant
as an object. The function is something like this:
[PreserveSig]
int ReadProperty(string PropName, out object PropValue);
On most of the calls it works fine but with one particular property it fails
saying that it cannot marshal the variant type. The variant is of type
VT_CLSID which is really just a pointer to a GUID so I would have thought it
would be able to do it. Is there a better way I should be doing this?
Thanks for any replies
Michael
