I am working with MOSS 2007, and need to write a protector (code that interacts directly with WSS). According to the SDK, protectors are written in unmanaged code and registered as COM objects (the sparse examples are in C++). Unfortunately, I don't speak C++; what are my options? I know that you can consume unmanaged code with P/Invoke...

and you can write unmanaged code in C#, but you can not write a COM component using C#, to my knowledge. The only two language options that you have are C++ and VB6.

"A REAL computer has ONE speed and the only powersaving it permits is when you pull the power leads out of the back!" I blurt. "In fact, a REAL computer would have a hole in the front to push trees into and an exhaust pipe out the back for the black smoke to come out of."

tody4me is correct (to the best of my knowledge anyways) that you canot write a COM object in C#, you can, however, write an object and make it COM Visible, not sure if that helps you though.

He's looking for a way to make it an actual COM component. All .net programming languages you can make something com visible.

For some reason, this issue is a little murky to me; I agree that one cannot use C# to write a true COM object, but it seems that using the steps outlined in this msdn article titled "Exposing .NET Framework Components to COM" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720072(VS.71).aspx) would essentially do the same thing (unmanaged code would treat the wrapped .Net object as a COM object). Will WSS treat a wrapped .Net object as a true COM object?
