Convert COM object to .Net Object

Question

public int Set(int newValue,Object obj) { //System.Windows.Forms.Control ctrl = (System.Windows.FormsControl)Object; }

The Object here is COM object. Now I want to convert it to some .Net object and get hold of it's properties. What is the easiest way to do it?

Answer 1

You can't convert a COM object into a Windows.Forms.Control object directly. It isn't that specific type.

The COM object should, if you use the correct type library, provide you with properties of its own. You should be able to use its properties directly, provided you cast it to the appropriate type.
