Description
Summary:Component-based programming is the trend in the software industry. Software components are reusable software units in executable form that can be plugged into other components from other vendors with relatively little effort. The components present a set of functionality through interfaces. This report will discuss the Microsoft-based programming technologies such as DLL, COM/DCOM, OLE Automation and ActiveX Controls. The motivation for establishing each of these techniques, the fundamental architecture, and the implementation examples for creating software objects using these techniques will be discussed
