Hi-

I found that if I changed the Connect interface method to accept an
IClientSinkPtr * variable instead of a IClientSinkPtr variable, I was
able to successfully get my code to work.

Interesting thing I found...While performing this cast (at the end of
code snip-it):

    CComPtr <IClientSink> mySinkPointer;
    CComObject <TClientSink> *Sink = new CComObject <TClientSink>;
    mySinkPointer = Sink;

   IClientSinkPtr *myClientSinkPtrPtr =
(IClientSinkPtr*)&mySinkPointer;   // <--This cast

an ASSERT error was raised in atlbase.h.  By just ignoring it, the
code worked fine.

Specifically, in lines 325-327:
  // The assert on operator& usually indicates a bug.  If this is
really
  // what is needed, however, take the address of the p member
explicitly.
  T** operator&() { _ASSERTE(p==NULL); return &p; }

Seems like this might be a bug, and should be (p!=NULL).

Comments?

Hope this helps,
Mark
