ClassBreaksRenderer?

[JoeMcCollum]

Hi, I've been playing with VB.net, trying to make a choropleth map:
I've tried the PresetColorRamp, and then the RandomColorRamp.  I either get an error (the compiler doesn't seem to like: 
pColorRamp.PresetColor(i) = pColor under the preset option - something about a COM error?  Then it doesn't like
pColorRamp.Color = pColor under the random option, saying that the color is read only.  I think I'm going to have to be able to change the color.  Another problem I was getting was that the whole map was disappearing.  It was still in the Table Of Contents
but it wasn't displaying. 

Maybe I need a reference or something? 

        'Dim pColorRamp As IColorRamp = New PresetColorRamp
        Dim pColorRamp As IColorRamp = New RandomColorRamp

        pColorRamp.Name = "Colors"
        pColorRamp.Size = 13
        pColorRamp.CreateRamp(True)

        Dim pColor As IRgbColor = New RgbColor

        For i = 0 To 12
            pColor.Red = i * 15
            pColor.Green = i * 15
            pColor.Blue = i * 15
            'pColorRamp.PresetColor(i) = pColor
            'pColorRamp.Color = pColor
        Next i

        Dim pRender As IClassBreaksRenderer = New ClassBreaksRenderer
        pRender.Field = "countycd"
        pRender.BreakCount = 5
        pRender.MinimumBreak = 1
        pRender.Break(0) = 25
         ...
        pRender.Break(3) = 100
        pRender.Break(4) = 133

        pRender.Label(0) = "Label 0"
         ...
        pRender.Label(4) = "Label 4"

        Dim pColorEnum As IEnumColors = pColorRamp.Colors
        pColorEnum.Reset()

        Dim pSFSym As ISimpleFillSymbol = New SimpleFillSymbol
        For i = 0 To 4
            pSFSym.Color = pColorEnum.Next
            pRender.Symbol(i) = pSFSym
        Next i

        Dim pUIProperties As IClassBreaksUIProperties = pRender
        pUIProperties.ColorRamp = "MyCustomRamp"
        pUIProperties.LowBreak(0) = 1
         ...
        pUIProperties.LowBreak(4) = 101
        pUIProperties.ShowClassGaps = False

        Dim pGeoLayer As IGeoFeatureLayer = pMxDoc.ActiveView.FocusMap.Layer(0)
        pGeoLayer.Renderer = pRender

        pMxDoc.UpdateContents()
        pMxDoc.ActiveView.Refresh()
