hi all,
Does anyone know of a list where I can see how the .NET types map over to
the COM world?

For instance, what does the StringBuilder map to in VB or C++, or the
string, or the ArrayList()?

Thanks,
dave

If it maps over to a COM object, I think that would be fairly obvious in the
IL disassembler.

For example, if you pull up ildasm for System.Web.dll, you can see the
SmtpMail class is a wrapper around CDONTS.

However, I don't think StringBuilder in particular is a wrapper around any
COM object(s). A quick glance through mscorlib.dll (where
System.Text.StringBuilder resides) didn't show any. And I'm not sure of any
place that lists them all out. I guess you checked the regular places--docs,
MSDN, KB?

Or do you mean "what's the COM object that does what this .NET object does?"
in which case I'm a bit confused--a string is String in VB, and ArrayList
and StringBuilder may not have equivalents...?
