LABRADOR Sample: Implements a Server with an Out-of-Proc Custom Interface and Compiler COM Support

This sample shows how to use ATL to implement an EXE server. The server allows creation of an object that supports two custom interfaces, defined in Labrador.idl. Compiler COM support is used to implement custom interfaces that perform nontrivial marshaling of a C-style array.

Compare this sample with the LABRADOR sample in the ATL directory.
