Me.ChildFormDialog1.ChildForm = GetType(Avanti.Scheduling.frmMilestonesDialog).AssemblyQualifiedName It still produced the error. Any other ideas or suggestions on how to make this work so I can call from VB6? I'd hate to have to get rid of the child dialog. Thanks, Tim

Me.ChildFormDialog1.ChildForm = "Avanti.Scheduling.frmMilestonesDialog, Avanti Systems Scheduling, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=df3c50696c85735c" I'm not clear on the second suggestion GetType(SomeNamespace.SomeFormType).AssemblyQualifiedName. Where do I add this code? Thanks Tim

As a workaround, you'll have to manually edit the .designer.vb files where you use ChildFormDialogs and change the type name of the ChildForm property to use the fully qualified type name. So, if you have this: SomeNamespace.SomeFormType Then you'll need to change it to this: SomeNamespace.SomeFormType, ContainingAssemblyName, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublickKeyToken=hexvalue You can find the fully qualified name of a type by calling .GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName You might even try replacing the quoted value with something like this: GetType(SomeNamespace.SomeFormType).AssemblyQualifiedName and it might work.

In my COM Dll I set all the Microfour settings found in the appmain. (Connection, localization) etc... In general everything seems to work fine, however I get errors when I use child form dialogs in my .NET project and try calling from my COM Wrapper. I also think I have a similar problem when I fill combo boxes using item populating settings. Is there a reference I am missing or something I may be doing incorrectly to cause the error? Thanks Tim ************ Exception Text ************ System.Exception: Type 'Avanti.Scheduling.frmMilestonesDialog' could not be found in the referenced assemblies. ---> System.Exception: The call to 'MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.GetTypeFromReferencedAssemblies' failed because the entry assembly could not be evaluated. at MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.Common.GetTypeFromReferencedAssemblies(String TypeName) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.Common.GetTypeFromReferencedAssemblies(String TypeName) at MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.ChildFormDialog.CreateForm(Object[] Arguments) at MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.ChildFormDialog.ShowDialog(Object[] Arguments) at MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.ChildFormDialog.ShowDialog() at Avanti.Scheduling.frmMilestones.ShowChildForm() in C:\Source Code\Scheduling\Avanti Scheduling\Avanti Scheduling\Forms\frmMilestones.vb:line 253 at Avanti.Scheduling.frmMilestones.grdMilestones_DoubleClickRow(Object sender, DoubleClickRowEventArgs e) in C:\Source Code\Scheduling\Avanti Scheduling\Avanti Scheduling\Forms\frmMilestones.vb:line 758 at Avanti.Scheduling.frmMilestones.grdMilestones_ClickCellButton(Object sender, CellEventArgs e) in C:\Source Code\Scheduling\Avanti Scheduling\Avanti Scheduling\Forms\frmMilestones.vb:line 747 at Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGrid.OnClickCellButton(CellEventArgs e) at Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGrid.FireEvent(GridEventIds id, EventArgs e) at Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridCell.OnButtonClick() at Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.ButtonWithStyleUIElement.OnClick() at Infragistics.Win.ControlUIElementBase.ProcessMouseUpHelper(Object sender, MouseEventArgs e) at Infragistics.Win.ControlUIElementBase.ProcessMouseUp(Object sender, MouseEventArgs e) at Infragistics.Win.Utilities.ProcessEvent(Control control, ProcessEvent eventToProcess, EventArgs e) at Infragistics.Win.UltraControlBase.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativewindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativewindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Nativewindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)
