Reflection and COM object access
July 05, 2004 @ 12:40 pm

I ran into a weird issue with accessing a COM EXE server using my Reflection helpers I posted about a while back. Looks like using InvokeMember fixes this issue although I'm struggling to see what it's doing differently than the relative MemberInfo methods.
