Hi,

Can anyone please tell me if in .NET it's possible to create an exe COM
server ?
I would like to have the possibility to create such an server because I want
to use it via COM from Win32 and also be able to run it via command line.
And it has to be written in C#.

Your response would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Cosmin

Hello coso,

You need use ActivationOption.Server to host your component on the dllhost.exe
and take into account that all types should be CLS compliant to use them
from unmanaged code

If you mean out-of-process server, then no this is a limitation of
enterprise services in .NET.

Of course, as the previous post suggested, setting the ActivationOption to
server will create the COM object as an in-process COM object which will use
dllhost.exe as a surrogate.
