Runtime Callable Wrappers

Just a couple notes about calling COM objects from managed code. We had some discussions about all this at my latest G.NET brain dump session.

• Locallay declared runtime callable wrapper object becomes garbage when it goes out of scope.
  
• COM object that is being wrapped will be released at the next garbage collection.
  
• Force immediate release of RCW's internal COM object with Marshal.ReleaseComObject() [from System.Runtime.InteropServices]
  

Late-binding a COM object

System.Type ComType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID( "foo.foo.1" );

System.Object ComObj = Activator.CreateInstance( ComType );

ComType.InvokeMember( "MethodNameHere", 

               Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, 

               ComObj, params );
