Developing a COM DLL with COM Attributes

  • Article

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

The following topics demonstrate how to quickly develop a simple COM server (an inproc server or DLL) using various attributes. You can develop the COM server in two ways:

The first walkthrough develops the COM server using a text editor and the command-line tools. The second walkthrough develops the same COM server using the Visual Studio integrated development environment.
