Now, I added some code to navigate to a web page.  I built with vs.net 2005.  It runs on .net 2.0 okay.  It fails to run on Mono with your COM interop patch.

            IWebBrowser2 ie = new InternetExplorerClass();
            object o = null;
            ie.Navigate(@"http://www.mono-project.com",
                ref o, ref o, ref o, ref o);
            ie.Visible = true;

Here is the exception I get:

$ mono ConsoleApplication1.exe
COMInteropHelpers.CreateInstance before return

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to
an instance of an object
in <0x0002a> System.Variant:VariantFromObject (System.Object obj)
in <0x00021> System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal:GetNativeVariantForObject (S
ystem.Object obj, IntPtr pDstNativeVariant)
in (wrapper managed-to-native) ie_tester.InternetExplorerClass:Navigate (string,
object&,object&,object&,object&)
in <0x00050> ie_tester.Program:Main (System.String[] args)

What do I do?

Here is a zip of a simple program to launch ie. I defined the interface and class in C#, so you don't need an interop assembly.

If you want to compile the source, compile with the MS compiler. The mono compilers appear to not work correctly. The included exe was compiled with VS.2005, and works with both mono (with my patch) and .Net. An .exe produced by the mono compilers doesn't run on mono or .Net. Not sure if the issue is with my COM stuff, or the compilers.

Can you provide some examples that work on Mono?

Subject: Com Interop Patch

Here's a first attempt at a patch for COM Interop. This only
provides support for RCWs (Runtime Callable Wrappers), i.e. using
unmanaged COM components from managed code. This should support both
classes us ed from Interop Assemblies (where metadata is known), as well
as bare interface pointers (with no metadata) who are wrapped using
__ComObject.

The patch doesn't seem to introduce any regression failures, and
theoretically no code in this patch should even be hit unless you are
using COM Interop functionality.

Just as a quick update, as much functionality as possible has
been moved to managed code (either in the Marshal or COMInteropHelpers
classes). This helps maintenance, doesn't bloat the runtime with
component specific code, removes compile time dependencies, etc. I'm
hoping for all code in the runtime to be generic component support code.
All specific component code (COM, XPCOM, Mainwin COM) will be in
managed.

There's lots left to do, but this provides basic functionality.
I'm sure the patch needs cleanup before commit, so please let me know
what needs changed.

Thanks,
Jonathan
