type mismatch error in debug of compiled dll

[christopher morgan]

i have a compiled dll i am calling from another project, and all works fine.
if i run the dll for debugging i get a type mismatch error when i try to
CreateObject("dll.class").
also, this only happens if i dim the object with
dim myObj as dll.class
if i use
dim myOjb as object
it works fine.

any help?
thank you

Your dll was not compiled with binary compatibility. You probably compiled
your dll, then your exe and then once again the dll. If the dll isn't
binary compatible with the previous version, the EXE will fail with a type
mismatch. I've tried to explain this at :

actually it turns out the original dll's were compiled under win2000, my machine
is xpPro. the binary compatibility was pointing to a 2000 file. by pointing
it to a file compiled under xp, the problem was solved.
