I think the probem lies in the way I am loading the DLL/COM object that the manifest file references. The program runs -- sort of. After I embed the manifest file into the executable. I just cannot step through the code in debug mode. So I put the manifest file into the list of files that the IDE had to reference. And then I noticed a big change. Then the executable that I produced had an error message (that I could ignore and continue running the program, if I choose to) that said the probem was with the way I was loading the COM object. How do I load a DLL into a GUI front-end written in C#. Where should I look for possible problems? There is something else that interests me. There is a file that appears in some of the output directories called .vshost.exe. How is this used in the project and connected with external COM objects? Also, how do I use WinDbg? I did some study on Click Once. Tell me if I am getting this right. Basically Click Once is a way of making software that a user can easily install (by clicking once) and a developer can make the software such that it is easy to publish versions of his work either locally or on the internet. I made a list of links and I watched some videos that Microsoft put together. I do not think my issue has much to do with Click One, but, on the other hand, I am new to this. Bacically, I am able to load the COM object in a different application. So I already know that the object is loaded. I also know that it is the debug version of the object. So I think I can rule out Click One as a source for a solution.    Report
