I'm writting a C# application which use one of the dll written in C++ as reference. I can use that dll namespace and my project compiles fine. However when I run it I keep getting error in one of the line where I assign a property its value. The exception error I got was the following:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
2013-06-03 12:26:32 - Unknown name. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020006 (DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME))

I initiated the dll object using the following code:
m_ctlTap = new sstObjTapLib.ctlTap();
Below are the three screenshots:
Looking at the stack error above, it seems that .NET is trying to call some method that does not exist, but I'm just setting a property value. Can somebody point me in the right direction or what I might have missed?
A noted point: While in debugging, I'm looking at my loaded module view, however I don't see this dll name one in the list of my loaded module.
I'm not sure why but the computer I worked with had this same dll installed. I know this by viewing it using the third party tool called RegDllView .
So I went in, unregister the dll I was using, verify it is also gone from the registry and then re-register it again. Clean out my project and recompile everything, and got the exact code to work.
Looking at what I did I think for some reason the application did not recognize the GUID supplied to point to the proper COM.
