Proper way to implement IUnknown?
Proper way to implement IUnknown?
(OP)
I'm working on someone else's code, which currently works, but I need to add some functionality.
It uses CoCreateInstance to instantiate some COM objects which seem to implement the IUnknown interface, but QueryInterface is not accessible. I'm not as familiar with C# as other languages, so maybe there's something obvious I'm missing. I'll try to keep this brief and only post what I think are the relevant snippets of code...
It tells me that the INetCfg interface does not have a QueryInterface method. Iv'e tried to manually add that method to the INetCfg definition, as such:
With that added I get a value outside of expected range exception when it tries to call QueryInterface. But I shouldn't have to manually add that method if it's part of the base interface, should I?

RE: Proper way to implement IUnknown?
I think part of the problem is it doesn't like me passing in an unmanaged interface object where it expects an IntPtr, and I haven't found a way to convert it to one yet.
