Thank you! I'm still pretty new to COM development, so I didn't appreciate this nuance. See, I thought the conversion worked, because when I returned the string, the ASP could output it just fine. Anyway, that part seems to work now. Again, thanks. Mark Harvey wrote: > Hi Tim, > > I think

Hi Tim, I think the problem is that you are casting a BSTR to a char*, you need to use a conversion routine, e.g. something like: void somefunc(BSTR bstrText) { _bstr_t _bstrText(bstrText, false); char* lpszText = (char*)_bstrText; .. Cheers, Mark - Original Message - From: "Tim Cole

Well, IMHO shared libs are better because (...as long as the API for OpenSSL does not change, which it should not...) 1) Executables using them are smaller (instead of x Megs, one has x Ks) 2) You can replace the shared libs (i.e. upgrade) without recompiling and (generally) without ill effec
