IManAndQuery andQuery = new ManAndQueryClass();

Hi Everyone
Has anyone used the above to perform a search query. I thought I would look at the example in the COM Manual for the SDK and the example does not work. The statement IManAndQuery andQuery = new ManAndQueryClass();
throws a compilation error stating the ManAndQueryClass does not have any constructors.
Im probably doing something daft but given this is in the manual - I cant see whats wrong.

Can anyone help?

try just var andQuery = new ManAndQuery();

This is more to do with .NET's COM interop and how .NET decided to translate the IManage COM type library when you imported it as a reference to your project.

Despite what the SDK might propose as an example, in general you should never use the "*Class" variants of a COM class.

If you need to know more, Andrew Whitechapel's book on .NET development for Office has a good explanation of the reasons why the .NET COM type library importer creates these, and why you should use the interface rather than the class.
