COM interop and System.Collections.Generic

I was just wondering if anyone has tried to expose any of the generic collection types for COM interop? Will I have to create a strongly typed collection of my own or do the generics translate into acceptable COM types? Big Smile

It's looking like I can implement IEnumberable and IEnumerator as a facade for a generic List<> but in my case need a key value pair I have to create a struct for the List to hold. Sorry to ramble.

All I gotta say is... Generics Rock Tongue Out

Was able to implement interface ICollection<>

Then with a private List<> just map the calls for the interface to the List equivalents. Presto.. no labor! =P

igitur

Got any code to show me how? I have to expose a Dictionary<> to COM in some way.
