c# set_Identity error

Hey guys,
I'm trying to integrate an AIM client into my current existing application in C#.
I can get the sample to run perfectly fine once I hooked up the working directory to dist\release.
So I basically tried to merge just the sign in feature of the sample with my application.
I first did two things:
1. I placed the 9 .dll files into my working directory
2. I added the 8 references to my working directory and added them into my project references in Visual Studio (i.e. AccCoreLib.dll,...)

I complied and tried to run and I get this error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

at AccCoreLib.IAccSession.set_Identity(String pIdentity)
at awshbuddy.SessionManager.SignOn(String userName, String password) in C:\Documents and Settings\\...\AIM\SessionManager.cs:line 746

So on the set_Identity command its failing. Now I know the SessionManager is not null, the AccSession is not null, these have been properly setup as shown in the examples. I am sending a valid username and password, I even hardcoded it in for the time being.

Once I couldn't fix this error, I literally inserted the entire sample into my program in hopes that it was a mistake on my part, but its still giving me the same error.

I've come to the conclusion that it has to be a configuration thing for Visual Studio (2008 Pro). Anyone have any ideas what this problem could be?
Thanks alot for your time.

I believe that the problem you are experiencing is because a Windows Form
Application uses a different message loop that COM. There is an article at
Microsoft that discusses this issue.

Also, note that the AccSession can only be accessed from within the Thread
that it is started in.

Thanks

thanks for your response.
I was sort of hoping for a simple solution without having to drastically alter my program. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with a very large program and its just not feasible for me to do any of those solutions. I'm not very familiar with COM client applications, and the AIM C# sample was not really what I was looking for originally. To your knowledge, is there any way to set up a POST/GET relationship with the AIM servers? I only want to perform 3 actions, not the entire client so any simple access to the AIM servers would be great.

Sure, take a look at WIM: http://dev.aol.com/aim/web/serverapi_reference.
There are some basic WIM code samples at the bottom of this page also:
