i have been programming in VB and VB.NET for some years. i have idea
of COM, like how to use the interface of any other application, but
now i want to use DCOM in a project. i.e to create objects from a
component installed on a remote computer on network. can any1 give me
a short walkthrough how to create DCOM objects (on remote computer)
Search the forums - I believe I have supplied at least 1 walkthrough.
My advice is skip DCOM and move straight on through to COM+ applications. Ted Pattison's - 'Programming Distributed Applications with COM+ and Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0' is essential reading material (I believe it was also on the M$ new programmers reading list - even for C++ people)
The newer versions of this technically come under the topic of '.Net Remoting' If you are just starting out it might be better to skip COM+, too.
Incidentally, the mantra of seperation of specification and implementation which was first introduced to the world via Ada, and then C++ (abstract classes) and then as a plumbing and marshalling technique (COM+) is supported by .Net, but like many things M$, you can't enforce it even though .Net purports to be a strongly typed system.
please gimme more info abt .NET remoting
Don't know; ask on the .Net areas. This area's for COM/ActiveX
