AssembyDocClass inheritance

Hi.
i,'m workig with solidworks 2006 api. I have builded a dll library for
my application that use solidworks api procedurally (using c#
language)... Now i want to rewrite this library using the object
paradigm. First i have wrote a class XXX that inherits AssembyDocClass.
Well... but how can I instantiate my XXX class?

If i need to instantiate an AssembyDoc procedurally i can use:

SldWorks.SldWorks sw = new SldWorks.SldWorks();
AssemblyDoc ad = sw.NewAssembly()

But how can i instantiate the XXX base class AssemblyDocClass?

internal class XXX : AssemblyDocClass
{
public XXX () : base() <-------------- ????
{}
}

best regards

You just cannot. If the base class does not have a public constructor, there
is no sense at all in inheriting a such class. If SW should use your
inherited class instead of it's own, how could _it_ know to instantiate the
inherited class? It would require some kind of factory pattern or callback
function.

If a class does not have a public constructor, it is most propably
intentional. It may even be - and I believe so - that the AssemblyDoc class
is just an interface or proxy class, and the very internals of SolidWorks
are much more complicated.

To solve the problem, write a wrapper class instead of inherited one.

Thank you for answering.
Effectively the AssemblyDocClass object that i'm getting is an object
that .NET interop has generated based on the interfaces in the
sldworks.tlb type library. The only object that is createtable is the
SldWorksClass.
