com-interop

I have a third party assembly with a public abstract class implementing a certain COM interface. Something to the effect of

[ComVisible(true)]
public abstract class SomeClass: ISomeInterface
{
  ....
  public void Method1() {...}
}

The actual object is an internal object extending the SomeClass and is instantiated by the third party code

Is there a way to access public methods of this class if all I have is the CCW to the ISomeInterface?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

Does COM interop respect .NET AppDomain boundaries for assembly loading?

Here's the core problem: I have a .NET application that is using COM interop in a separate AppDomain. The COM stuff seems to be loading assemblies back into the default domain, rather than the AppDomain from which the COM stuff is being called.
