Registering for COM Interop

[Pedro Miguel Rodrigues]

Hi

In a .NET project I''m working in, where I use Syncfusion components, I have to register it for COM Interoperability, so I can load it in another project in VB6.

The problem is, I''m getting an error compiling my project with COM Interop support.

I get the following error message:

COM Interop registration failed. Could not find a type library for assembly ''Syncfusion.Shared''.

How can I solve this?

Thanks,
Pedro Miguel Rodrigues

Hi Pedro,

Sorry for the delay in getting back. We will test this and post an update tomorrow.

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Pedro

Can you post some more information on this issue.
Here is a sample control which uses the CalculatorControl in Essential Tools.

Build this sample and then try using it in the ActiveX Control Test Container (tstcon32.exe) and choose Insert->New Control and then choose MyCalculatorControl.UserControl1.

I created and tested this sample using the 2.0.5.1 version of Essential Suite.

We recently used it in a real estate platform to create a clean, interactive dashboard for managing listings and client communications. It was part of a broader system we built for tm register  , and Syncfusion made it much easier to handle the UI without building everything from scratch. Definitely recommend it for similar business-focused tools!

COM Interop lets .NET components communicate with older COM applications such as VB6, while type-library generation is essential for successful registration.
The error suggests Syncfusion.Shared lacks a usable type library; checking COM visibility, dependencies, platform compatibility, and generating/registering the required TLB with the appropriate .NET Framework tools is a sensible approach.
TM Sim Register is unrelated to COM development, but similarly, using the correct registration requirements and verified information helps avoid registration problem
