dotnet component services: Hi,

I have defined the following ServicedComponent that currently does nothing.

< _
ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None), _
Guid("D374C669-3779-45da-83F4-5D2279F0355B") _
[quoted text, click to view]
Public Class BarEnumerator
Inherits ServicedComponent
Implements IEnumerator

Private ReadOnly Property Current() As Object Implements
IEnumerator.Current
End Property

Private Function MoveNext() As Boolean Implements IEnumerator.MoveNext
End Function

Private Sub Reset() Implements IEnumerator.Reset
End Sub

Public Overloads Sub Dispose()
End Sub
End Class

It is deployed as a server application. I can instantiate this class and
invoke Current. When I call MoveNext(), the following exception is thrown:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException : COM object
that has been separated from its underlying RCW can not be used.

Stack Trace:
at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink
.PrivateProcessMessage(
MethodBase mb, Object[] args, Object server,
Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext, Object[]& outArgs)
at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink
.SyncProcessMessage(
IMessage msg, Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext)

Exception rethrown at [0]:
at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.HandleReturnMessage(
IMessage reqMsg, IMessage retMsg)
at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy
.PrivateInvoke(MessageData& msgData, Int32 type)
at System.Collections.IEnumerator.MoveNext()

For me this sounds like an Apartment-related problem, but I do not know
how to fix it using ES...

Thanks,

I'm clueless about VB.NET, so I don't understand why
the methods/properties can be empty.

The following C#-Enumerator works as expected:

public class TestEnumerator : ServicedComponent, IEnumerator {
readonly string[] strings = new string[] {"hello", "world"};
IEnumerator innerEnum;

public TestEnumerator() {
innerEnum = strings.GetEnumerator();
}

public object Current {
get {
return innerEnum.Current;
}
}

public void Reset() {
innerEnum.Reset();
}

public bool MoveNext() {
return innerEnum.MoveNext();
}
}

bye

Hi Robert,

even with your dummy implementation I get the same exception. However,
when I do not implement IEnumerator and use the class interface instead,
everything works fine.
Are there any restrictions with the IEnnumerator/IEnumVARIANT-RCW?

Thanks,
Jo
