title: Using COM from within Sharepoint
body: <p>I have two ocx files which i registered on my computer using regsvr32.  I use them in my visual studio project by adding a reference to the COM objects, to the project.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that when I attempt to add these to a SharePoint project, when I attempt to invoke the COM object, I get the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <blockquote>
      <p>"Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.TsSDKActiveX, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=60b2ad56e2b9ec22' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."</p>
    </blockquote>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How can I work around this?  TsSDKActiveX does not exist in the GAC (but in my Program Riles (x86), which is why I assume it is not finding it. Also, I suspect the fact that sharepoint likes 64 bit DLLs is a problem.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to isolate the code in a separate application and invoked it through a WCF service, but this has been giving some problem due to how this COM component works.  I need to eliminate the service.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how to proceed?</p>
