This article was previously published under Q237175 SYMPTOMS
If you have an Active Template Library (ATL) DLL that includes a control and an ATL object and you create a custom marshalling DLL for both the control and the object, then when you reference this ATL DLL as a component in a Visual Basic project, the Visual Basic integrated development environment (IDE) improperly changes the Registry entries for the interface of the ATL object. The Registry entries that are changed are the Typelib and the ProxyStubClsid32 keys of the interface.
CAUSE
When a control in the Visual Basic IDE is referenced, it generates an .oca file. The .oca file creates a new interface ID for the control and registers the new interface ID in the Registry. However, at the same time, the Visual Basic IDE improperly changes the Registry entries for the interface of the ATL object, which is in the same DLL as the control.
