Activator.CreateInstance question

Question

I have been trying to simulate the functionality I have had in the past using Server.CreateObejct(progid,servername) in vbscript on a classic ASP page. It appears I need to be using the System.Activator class, but I have had problems with type casting. For example: Type myType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(progid,servername); Lib.Object myObject = (Lib.Object)Activator.CreateInstance(myType); When I execute this code, I receive an invalid cast. If I use the following: Type myType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(progid,servername); Object myObject = Activator.CreateInstance(myType); I don't receive any invalids, but the functions from the object are not available (i.e.; myObject.DoSomething). I have tried several variations including: Type myType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(progid,servername); Object myObject = Activator.CreateInstance(myType); Lib.Object myObject2 = (Lib.Object)Marshal.CreateWrapperOfType(myObject,typeof(myObject)); One last bit of info, I have an asp page on the same server with the Server.CreateObject call and it works fine. Thanks for any help, ctcoley
