COM Programming with Microsoft .NET

The MS .NET Framework is here, but COM
will be a valuable part of the Windows
programmer's armory of technologies for years to come.
This book explains how and where COM fits
into the new .NET world. It also demonstrates
the new technologies that are available in .NET,
and it shows how to interoperate between COM
and .NET. It's essentially a "one-stop shopping" resource
for COM programmers who want to work with
.NET. The authors use both theoretical and practical
approaches - explaining how the mechanisms work and
also providing advice plus code to show how
to approach interoperability in practice. By the end
of this book, readers will understand topics such
as the place of COM in the .NET
world, what's new in .NET for COM programmers,
how to use MS Visual Studio .NET to
write "traditional" COM objects, how to use COM
objects in .NET code, and how to use
.NET objects as COM objects.
