performance of ActiveX Dll with Class module

[rfo]

I have create a ActiveX Dll with a Class module.
It preforms ok, when I am running it in a VB-Project-Group,
as soon as I reference the compiled dll it is terribly slow.

Does anybody know why, and how to fix it?

Details:

The class is intended to save data to a file. The data is provided by srting and string array parameters.

It all depends on what your doing with it, and what your passing back and forth (amongst many other things).

Give us some more details.

rfo, the mail addy you gave me bounced.

so...

ok, i get you.
Again, it could be any number of things.

If you want to send some source, i'll take a look.

I know the reason now, but still no solution!

It is because I am passing a string array to a class
function. I need to pass at about 500 bytes to that function.
How do I do that effectively?

[tumblingdown]

if you wanted to get narly, you could memcopy.

I am going to make a couple of experiments. I'll post the results...

Believe it or not!

The reason was that I used the App-Version-Properties
(Major, Minor and Revison) for each entry of the string-
array parameter. These properties are obviously slow when used in a ActiveX-Project, as soon as it is compiled.

The same code runs in a fraction of a second, as opposed to
7 seconds when using the App-Version-Properties about 600 times!
