Yay

I finally got my wireless network card working on my laptop..

Who would have thought that just changing the slot the network card was in would fix my troubles...

Maybe I need to get my laptop checked.. :(

Oh well, at least I can now blog from in front of the TV..

COM Interop, the not so easy way

I have just read yet another article on msdn about how easy it is to create a .NET assembly that is callable via COM. It is really easy...
Now for my complaint... I have not seen a single article from msdn that actually goes into details of how to make sure that you .NET assembly maintains it's binary compatibility when you recompile...
Top that off with the wonderful CodeBase registry key that .NET puts in for you, and you will spend hours trying to debug deployment of you com component.

This article was just posed up on the MSDN site, it's yet another sample that shows how easy com is, yet it still misses all of the really important bits of information...
Visual Basic Developer Center: Database Developer Corner: Calling

Keep an eye on this space for more information on COM Interop..

Until next time...
