I'm trying to use a .NET assembly from VB6 via interop without placing it in the GAC and without using the /codebase argument for regasm.exe.

Hi I'm looking to force my application to shut down, and return an Exit code. Had a look on MSDN and I can see that in WPF the Application has a Shutdown method which takes an error code as a parameter, but there doesn't appear to be one for System.Windows.Forms.Application.

We are developing a new web service and are looking into the "best practice" for returning errors in the soap response. We were looking into creating a error response object which every response would contain as a property.
