Hi Matthew,
It's pretty lame, but I was thinking something like this:
public class ComWrapper<T> : IDisposable where T: new()
{
private T mComObject;
public ComWrapper()
{
mComObject = new T();
}
#region IDisposable Members
public void Dispose()
{
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mComObject);
mComObject = default(T);
}
public T ComObject
{
get
{
return mComObject;
}
}
#endregion
}
This could then be used in this kind of manner:
using(ComWrapper<Word.DocumentClass> doc = new
ComWrapper<Word.DocumentClass>())
{
doc.ComObject.PrintPreview();
}
You have a little more typing (ie the doc.ComObject) but it's type safe and I
guess would get the job done. Perhaps there's a better way of doing this....
Cheers,
mal

I assume you're not using 2.0 and can't make use of generics?
