Create COM-Object from own C# Dll in Progress 4GL

[RaphaelH]

I'm wondering how I can create a Com-Object from my own C# DLL.

I made the following Class in C#:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace ProgressNet
{
[Guid("a9b1e34d-3ea3-4e91-a77a-5bcb25875485")]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)]
[ComVisible(true)]
[ProgId("ProgressNet.Server")]
public class NetServer
{
public NetServer() {}

[DispId(1)]
public string GetString()
{
return "Some String";
}
}
}


In Properties I checked Register for COM Interop.

Then I registered the DLL with regasm.

regasm G:\ProgressTestApp\ProgressNet.dll /tlb:G:\ProgressTestApp\ProgressNet.tlb


Then I tried in Progress 4GL this Code:

DEFINE VARIABLE NetServer AS COM-HANDLE.
CREATE "ProgressNet.NetServer" NetServer.
MESSAGE NetServer::GetString().


But then I get "The automation server for ProgressNet.NetServer is not registered properly"..

Any Suggestions?
