Re: error message from OLEView

Hi George,

I have used unmanaged C++ developed a native COM DLL. Then I use OLE Viewer
(from command line oleview) to open (Bind To File function) the DLL. Then
there is an error message.

Use the File menu to view the type library of your COM object. From that file open dialog select your dll and you should be able to browse your type library.

IMoniker:BindToObject failed on the file moniker created from
(c:\temp\foo.dll) Bad extension for file

(MK_E_INVALIDEXTENSION) ($800401E6)

Anything wrong?

Never used BindToObject but I would expect that it tries to bind to some persisted state of a COM object, not to open its type library, if that is what you want to do.
