Re: Creating COM server with C#

You cannot AFAIK write a native COM server in C#.

What you *can* do is write a "serviced component" (i.e. a COM+ dll that you can host as a COM+ application in "Component Services".

Alternatively, you can use a COM-server compatible framework to write a shim COM server to the managed (.NET) COM library (dll); for quick'n'dirty jobs I've used VB6 for this; or C++ if you are literate with it (I'm not very...).
