I don't see COM DLL in the Process Explorer

I am interacting with a custom COM component in my C# project.

I am wrapping it with IDisposable.

The problem I am facing is that I do not see the DLL for CSCCOM in Process Explorer once the program runs.

Solution

  • OK. Just found out that there is nothing wrong with the code. But the reason I was not able to see the COM dll was that "Show Lower Pane" was not turned on in the ProcessExplorer.

    Steps to see all related dlls for a running process in ProcessExplorer:

    1. Make sure View > Show Lower Pane is checked in ProcessExplorer.
    2. Make sure View > Lower Pane View > DLLs is checked.
    3. Select the process from the upper pane to view all related DLLs in the lower pane.

    Hope this helps someone who is new to ProcessExplorer like me!
