How to Instantiate ObjectFrame in VB.NET

Question

I am trying to reach methods and properties of ObjectFrame through vb.net. But when I declared this as

Dim objOLEObject As ObjectFrame

and then trying to instantiate it as

ObjOLEObject = New ObjectFrame

it shows error like:

"429: Retriveing the COM class factory for component with CLSID {3806e95d-e47c-11-cd-8701-00aa003f0f7} failed due to the following error: 80040154"

To resolve this we re-installed both MS-Office 2003 and VS-2005, but could not get the solution.

Could anyone suggest me how to declare and use this in vb.net?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Make sure the dll has been registered using regsvr32. Verify by looking in the registry for the CLSID.

Make sure all dependant dll's are available.

I believe this is a class not registered error.

Adding to what Josh is saying, have you checked that all the dependency files are present?
