Hellow, fellows!
I experienced the following difficulty with Visual Studio .NET. (This problem does not occur when we are using Vusial Studio 5.0.)
I created all by myself one DLL COM object that implemented the IUnknown and IDispatch interfaces and one custom interface called IMath. When I tried to use the server functionality from a client application I got a linker error message saying that _IID_IMath is not defined. However, I included the header files of the server into the client's directory and the IID_IMath GUID is accessible by the client. I have never used the _IID_IMath symbol anywhere in the server program. Is that a strange name decoration or what? How to solve this roblem?! The problem does not persist in Visual Studio 5.0.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
