How can I use IHTMLDocument6 or other IE 8 interfaces from C#?

I'm trying to access the IHTMLDocument6.documentMode property from my IE BHO, but that interface is not defined in any of the mshtml assemblies I can find on my machine.

I've tried hacking together an interface definition for the interface:

[Guid("30510417-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b")]
[TypeLibType(4160)]
public interface IHTMLDocument6
{
    [DispId(1104)]
    float documentMode { get; }
}

I can successfully cast the document object to this interface, but I do not get a value that makes sense for the documentMode property.

Where can I find the version of mshtml that includes the IHTMLDocument6 interface, or a correct version of the interface definition to use? Or is there some other way I should be doing this?

Thanks.

This is the correct code to use

[Guid("30510417-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b")]
[InterfaceTypeAttribute(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)]
public interface IHTMLDocument6
{
    [DispId(1104)]
    object documentMode { get; }
}

A VARIANT is an object in P/Invoke. The above also uses IDispatch which minimizes fuss.

You can get Headers and Libs for IE9 from here. If that link becomes broken, I got it from here.

You can get interop examples from pinvoke.net. It seems pretty thin on MSHTML, but you can add to it once you get it figured out.

You can always use latebinding and do a Type.Invokemember
