Technical overview
In Microsoft Windows operating systems, the Microsoft COM technology enables software components communicate with other software components. You can use Microsoft COM technology to create reusable software components. You can also develop applications by linking these components together and take advantage of Windows services.
Out-of-process server objects are implemented in an executable file and are run in a separate process space.
Note For more information about how to create the sample application and how to deploy the sample application, see the Readme.txt file that is included in the download package.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
