cominterop.dll

[gs]

Do I really need cominterop.dll for making use of .net 2 assembly through
com interface?

I am using dotnet sdk that comes with visual studio express 2005. did not
install sdk 1x

I am still having problem using the assembly from native application through
com interface when there is string array involved. In the vb project I did
enable com interop. and use the calls library template.

No, interop DLLs are needed to consume COM objects from .NET code. In your
scenario, you should register your .NET assembly for COM interop with the
regasm.exe command-line tool (you can use the corresponding IDE project
setting as an alternative, but the IDE does not register the assembly's code
base path properly, at least in VS 2003).

Please repost this in more detail to
