[New issue] .NET and COM InterOp issues in IronPython</span> <a href="http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/35113">view online</a></div><p>User PlexCUser has proposed the issue:</p><p>"<strong>IronPython COM interop Vs C#/F#</strong> <br />
<br />
It appears as though one has to call COM Interface’s method explicitly in IronPython, where as methods/properties are automatically detected in C#/F#.<br />
Is there any setting/option in IronPython to make it work similar to C#/F# for COM interop?<br />
<br />
Unable to do the following with early binding in IronPython<br />
Marshal.GetActiveObject("Vendor.Application").XXX.YYY, whereas this is possible in both C# and F#.<br />
Intellisense also works fine with C#/F# in VS2013, but not with IronPython.<br />
<br />
(Tried all the three different methods described in <a href="http://ironpython.net/documentation/dotnet/dotnet.html" rel="nofollow">http://ironpython.net/documentation/dotnet/dotnet.html</a>, Creating COM object, but the issue remains)<br />
<br />
C#:<br />
// Add COM typelib reference<br />
using System;<br />
using System.Collections.Generic;<br />
using System.Linq;<br />
using System.Text;<br />
using System.Threading.Tasks;<br />
using VendorTypeLibNS;<br />
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;<br />
<br />
namespace CustomNS<br />
{<br />
<pre><code>class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{</code></pre>
// PLEASE NOTE that intellisense works on any of the followng statements without any issues.<br />
<pre><code> Application app = (Application)Marshal.GetActiveObject("Vendor.Application");
Console.WriteLine (app.secondLevelComObject.someStringProperty);
}
}</code></pre>
}<br />
<br />
F#<br />
<h1>r "C:\Temp\ Interop.Vendor.dll"</h1>
open VendorTypeLibNs<br />
open System.Runtime.InteropServices<br />
let app = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Vendor.Application"):?> VendorTypeLibNs.Application<br />
let strProp = app.secondLevelComObject.someStringProperty<br />
<br />

app = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Vendor.Application")<br />
comObj2 = Application. secondLevelComObject.GetValue(app)<br />

Unable to do the following in IronPython:<br />
App.secondLevelComObject.someStringProperty<br />
<br />
From InterOp DLL<br />
Application is an Interface<br />
secondLevelComObject is also an interface (which a property on application)<br />
secondLevelComObject is a property on secondLevelComObject<br />
