DLL Created using vb.net 2.0... Could not create object. KJ 07-20-2006

 Hi all,

I created a simple DLL for use with the begin tender hook in the POS. I get
a message when the event fires saying "Attempt to execute COM object
'blah.blah' failed. Could not create object." Has anyone else experienced
this or know why and can you point me in the right direction? Probably has
something to do with how I created my DLL...just a guess.

 It's probably because you haven't gotten your dll registered properly
for COM. I've done it with VS2003, but VS2005 may have changed
something. You used to use REGASM to register the assembly so that COM
applications could find it. I suspect that is still the same, but
again, I haven't tried in VS 2005. Check MSDN for info on registering
you assembly for COM...

I have created 2005 DLL's, but I could only get them to work on my machine
that had vb.net 2005 installed unless I created an install package and ran
the install package on other machines. REGASM didn't seem to cut it in 2005.

I was able to create a couple DLL's and get cashier, transactions etc...but
in order for RMS to find the DLL's they have to be in the "Store Operations"
directory. Is there something I have missed? I thought I would be able to
create a directory under "Store Operations" called "AddIns" and put the
plugins I create in there...
