Sorry that I can't be of much help, Winan. You don't say *where* this is erroring out and I don't know anything about this particular control. Part of the problem also might be that you should be using COM Interop and maybe you're not? Look up COM Interop in VS Help ... there seems to be some good examples of how to do this.
