Unable to debug VB COM object from ASP.NET

We have a VB6 COM object that we've developed that we're accessing from an ASP.NET application. Whilst debugging an ASP.NET application we are getting an exception when we attempt to step from the .NET debugger into the COM object in VB6 (ie... by running the COM control within VB6 with a break point set). It doesn't seem like .NET can resolve the COM object whilst it's being run in VB. The exception is as follows:-

System.InvalidCastException: QueryInterface for interface OurComInteropNamespace._aClassFromOurCOMObject failed

This exception only occurs when we attempt to debug the COM in VB6 whilst debugging the ASP.NET application calling it.
Has anyone else encountered such a problem ?

Is there a work around ?

I've got the same problem. The only workaround I know of is declaring
all your COM object references in VB.NET 'As Object', disable 'option
strict' and thus use late-binding. Big drawback is that you cannot pass
UDT's/structs from VB6 to .net using late binding.

Hope this helps.
