Hide web service in COM interop assemblyI have a .Net assembly that exposes functionality to COM through the
use of a ComClass. The assembly is installed using an MSI which automatically registers the assembly for COM interop. My problem is that when a user views the assembly through object browser, the automatically generated classes connected with a web service appear. I've set the assembly to have ComVisible(False) but this doesn't seem to have any effect, the only thing that does is by me added ComVisible(False) to the generated classes but of course if the web reference is updated these disappear. Does anybody have any ideas about a better way for me to hide the generated web service classes? change the scope of the class by hand to friend instead of public

web reference is updated the classes will all be recreated thus loosing the change? The other thing is that there are 25 classes being exposed through the web reference and ideally I'd like to try and find a solution that doesn't require me to alter all the classes by hand. I found a solution.
I'd turned off register for COM Interop so no tlb created as I believed I could do this through an installation but turns out thats not a good idea. Once I'd applied ComVisible(false) to all the .Net classes and the assembly and then turned on register for COM Interop the tlb that was created only contained the definition for the single COM class.
