[DUG] Returning IDispatch instead of OleVariant in TypeLibrary

[Conor Boyd]

I can't see why you shouldn't just return one of your own interface
types.

It's going to be as cross language compatible as the rest of your type
library.

Cheers,

Yes, that's done the trick - thanks. I missed it the first time you
mentioned it cause I was so caught up in trying to just get the thing
reloading without errors.

I can now set the return value of a method to one of my dispInterfaces. 
Is this a good idea or should I just return an IDispInterface (concerned
about cross language compatibility)?
