What is ObjectContext Object in VB.Net or VB6.
What is GetObjectContext function used for.
Can someone provide any concrete example of its use.

The reason I am asking this question is that I am in the process of converting a COM object written in VB6 to VB.Net.
There was some code using ObjectContext which did not make any sense.

Here is the code..

///////////////////////////////////////////

VB

Dim objvar As String

Set objCtx = GetObjectContext()

objvar = "HRA.NQAGGR"

Set objscrid = CreateObject(objvar)

funcnretval = CallByName(objscrid, screenID, VbMethod, uparray, downarray, tpcode)

If Not objCtx Is Nothing Then
  objCtx.SetComplete
End If

////////////////////////////////////////

As you can see in the code, the objectcontext is created and then SetComplete without actually being used. It does not make sense. I was wondering whether I could just ignore this code in the new Vb.Net conversion of the COM object.

I found the responses to this stackoverflow post[^] particularly useful - especially the one from PatFromCanada.

As to whether you can ignore it in the new version that depends on how you are going about your conversion
