Pass through ComWrappers based objects to COM type descriptor #89887
Conversation
WinForms hosts the the COM type descriptor. It has been updated to work with ComWrappers based objects- adding the check for them in TypeDescriptor. There are hard dependencies on Windows in the current implementation. We can potentially update to conditionalize these. dotnet/winforms#9291 tracks. There is no automated test as it would require adding a dependency upstream to WinForms.

Can we copy a smaller portion of that code here to test - less as the "real scenario" and more as just a mock - or would that require too much duplication? |
@ericstj I think it would be more effort than is worth it. I've got tests for this already in WinForms, I just need to switch them over to get the converter from |

@JeremyKuhne Wouldn't it be possible to write a simple test that calls |
Maybe? It throws when WinForms isn't available, I'd have to handle all cases gracefully. I don't think this is likely to break and it will be caught when WinForms tries to update dependencies. |
Oh. Nevermind. I agree adding tests is probably not worth the effort. |

Failing tests are known issues. |
