How to register COM object on Windows Mobile device?

Ok so I know on the desktop you can create a COM component and register it so it's in the registry and sorta globally visible to all applications - but how would one do it on Windows Mobile

I got Platform Builder and Visual Studio 2005 if anyone wants to know what I'm working with here.

I need to access the COM component remotely, so I'd need to do this for that to work.

    I dunno if this is the kinda stuff you wanted, but this artivle is really handy.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnce50/html/implement_network_service.asp

    To programatically register a DLL, you can use RegisterService or ActivateService. I had issues with ActivateService (it called Init and Deinit in a strange fashion) so I just stuck to RegisterService. Look up RegisterService or ActivateService and you'll find more info on them, including the rest of the service.exe type stuff.

    Hope that helped.

    Windows Media Player Mobile does not support DSP plugins. In fact the only type of plugin it supports are UI plugins and those must be UI-less (I know it sounds strange, but that's the way it is)

    Hi,

    I went through your conversation.I have also stucked up here.Actually i am making DSP Plugin for Windows Mobile.

    Same Plugin is working fine on Desktop media player. and it registers automatically. but on mobile emulator i can deploy the .dll file but i am not getting the effects. so if you have done ftuff like that then please tell me.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hoping for a positive response.

    If you have platform builder, there is a tool called regsvrce.

    See item 13. here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dncenet/html/buildxml.asp

    That assumes that your com DLL implements DllRegisterServer(). Any ATL project will have this done for you. If you have a vanilla Win32 project check out the DvorakSip sample in WM5 SDK

    Let me clarify that I've never manually or programatically registered a COM dll before (desktop or mobile). Does anyone know how to manually or programatically register a dll for desktop Is setting registry values all I have to do

    If someone can regurgitate the process for desktop I can try that on mobile and see if it works.

    Thanks!

    Awesome! I'll try that out and come back with notes/problems. Thanks Alex and Kuntushi :)
