CreateObjectFromCLSID

Creates a COM object using the specified class ID (CLSID).

Syntax

    HRESULT  
    CreateObjectFromCLSID(  
        [in] CLSID clsidObject,  
        [out, retval] VARIANT * pObject  
    );  
  

Parameters

• [in] clsidObject

  The class ID (CLSID) of the COM object to create.

• [out, retval] * pObject

  The COM object that is created.

Return Value

HRESULT

Remarks

This method attempts to create the COM object of the Fusion activation context of the product, if one exists, from the CLSID specified by the clsidObject parameter. For example, if you try to create the native reader object using the IIS_PRODUCT_OS_SERVICE product type and version object, you will get the operating system’s native reader object. However, if the version object is of type IIS_PRODUCT_EXPRESS, the method first applies the Fusion manifest context for the product, and then creates the COM object and returns the native reader for that version of IIS Express.
