Hi Biswa,
Thanks for your reply,
Suppose if Client1.exe calls DLL it will load in to Client1.exe process, same will happen if Client2.exe calls the same DLL.
As per your reply DLL will be loaded in some common place,
Which process DLL actually loads, if this is different than Client1.exe,Client2.exe process then marshalling is requied to call those DLL methods...
As conclusion DLL should be loaded "Client1.exe" and "Client2.exe" processes,if not, could you please clarify me how this will be handled??
Thanks,
Siva

This is handled by memory paging. There will be only one copy of the dll in the physical memory. But both applications will be mapped to the same address space by paging. It does not mean that application A can write into the memory location of Application B and corrupt Application B. This vulnerability is prevented by a method called "Copy on Write". Thus if application A needs to write into the data memory of the dll, then it will take a copy of it and modify that copy so that it wont affect Application B. Look for memory paging for more info.

If its a vb6 COM dll then COleDispatchDriver is the best way to do it. Here it is how to do:
Right click on project in the class view
select Add from the context menu.
Click class
select MFC in the categories tree view,
select MFC class from type lib in the 'templates' listview
browse the type library of your vb component.
this will generate a COleDispatchDriver derived class for your vb com class.
look for COleDispatchDriver class to see how u can use the wrapper class generated by the wizard.
If it is an ATL vc++ COM dll then do #import typelib and use the smart pointers generatred.

I tried using the Follwing Method which u said but it returns me the same error "MFC classes can only be used with in a MFC projects".
Right click on project in the class view
select Add from the context menu.
Click class
select MFC in the categories tree view,
select MFC class from type lib in the 'templates' listview
browse the type library of your vb component.
this will generate a COleDispatchDriver derived class for your vb com class.
look for COleDispatchDriver class to see how u can use the wrapper class generated by the wizard.
I guess i have no Option left, i will do the #import typelib thing.
any ways thanks for the suggestion

Better way is to use '#import "typelibraryfile" no_namespace' method, and then use smart pointers generated. Just compile your project with this #import statement. It will create two files(in debug directory). You can use those two files to get details about the interfaces and class ids.

Can some one help... I'm trying to acces a remote COM from local machine. I've a in-proc COM server (DLL), and want to acces it remotely. I was getting an error, when I tried with CoCreateInstanceEx(), i.e. "Class Not Registerd" from remote machine. so, I've exported (Registerd) it using 'Component Manager Snapp-in'. Right now I'm able to get the class access(because Class constructor gets called on remote machine), but it fails to get Interface pointer from class. And Interfaces implemented by class is also not shown in the snapp-in under 'Interfaces' Tag. Am I laggin somewhere? Is there any other way to do so? Please reply for the same.
Thanks for anykind of help...... !!

Could you please try by registring the Proxy/Stub stuff on both machines...
Thanks & Regars,
Siva

Hi !
Thanks for answering, we did the same. we created proxy/stub dll and regeistered on both the machines. I would like to add one more query.
I build 3 COM Servers(as a service, exe, and dll). we tested all the three for their performance. when we fire number of requests from remote machins(approximatly 100 requests, 10 requests per process, like such there are 10 process makin requests), every type of server behaved differently. Exe type COM server took almost 1 min 40 sec. Service type COM Server took almost 1 min 42 sec(appro same as exe server). But DLL type COM server took only 16 Sec. How this has happend. Can you explain the working of all these remote servers....
Is the object shared by the clients?

Need bit clarification..
How did you access the DLL from Remote machine,
Did you run as a Surrogate process in Remote server ?? or you registered(copied) the source DLL to client machine..
Thanks,
Siva Sankar

Hello Siva !
Actully I've registerd the proxy/stub dll. And using MMC-Component Services, I put that COM dll into COM Applications. this would make your COM dll to be used from remote machin. (this inturn make use of DLLHOST.exe as a surrogate). This is what the scenario....

while (pEnumerator)
{
HRESULT hr = pEnumerator->Next(WBEM_INFINITE, 1,
&pclsObj, &uReturn);
if(0 == uReturn)
{
break;
}
VARIANT vtProp;
VariantInit(&vtProp);
hr = pclsObj->Get(L"Name", 0, &vtProp, 0, 0);
if(vtProp.bstrVal = "Alerter")
{
MessageBox(NULL,"AlerterService ",NULL,NULL);
}
wcout << vtProp.bstrVal << endl;
hr = pclsObj->Get(L"state", 0, &vtProp, 0, 0);
wcout << vtProp.bstrVal << endl;
}
iam using this code in an application using WMI .but when i compiling iam getting error
error C2446: '==' : no conversion from 'char *' to 'unsigned short *'
can u please suggest me how to overcome this problem

Hello Abhi !
One thing I noticed is that you put '=' instead of '==' in if condition. And if you wanna to convert a unsigned shor * to char *, there is a simple way using CComBSTR class:
CComBSTR tmp;
tmp.Append("SomeTextHereToAppend");
YourBSTRObject = SysAllocString(tmp.operator BSTR());
You can use YourBSTRObject to compare with another BSTR object. that will help to avoid this conversion while comparision.

thanks malli
i have one more doubt
when i execute thhis query
hres = pSvc->ExecNotificationQuery(
bstr_t("WQL"),
bstr_t("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 5 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_Process' And (TargetInstance.Name = 'notepad.exe' OR TargetInstance.Name = 'calc.exe' ) "),
WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY | WBEM_FLAG_RETURN_IMMEDIATELY,
NULL,
&pEnumerator);
i get the output stored in pEnumerator.
now how to extract data from pEnumerator . whether itis
hr = pclsObj->Get("Name", 0, &vtProp, 0, 0);
or
hr = pclsObj->Get("TargetInstance.Name", 0, &vtProp, 0, 0);
where Name is the property of Win32)process class
Thanks In advance
Regards
Abhi

Detailed information is scattered throughout the web. Buy a book, borrow one from a library or a friend, or purchase an e-book. The topic is huge and you won't find everything in one place.

I’m stuck on something I’ve solved before but can’t remember how to solve now. I have a COM object (unmanaged C++) that I am installing on several machines. It works fine on machines that have Visual Studio installed. But I can’t register the object on machines without VS. When I try to register it, regsvr32 says “the specified module could not be found.”
I am sure this refers to a DLL the object uses indirectly – not the COM object DLL itself. I copied over the usual suspects – mfc, atl, etc. But I haven’t hit the right one.
Suggestions?
How can I get regsvr32 to tell me which module it can’t find?
BTW, I have tried both release & debug builds of the object with no change.
Thanks!
Marshall
If you continue to do the same things you always did,
don't be surprised if you get the same results you always got.

This is exactly what I needed. I absolutely should have remembered the good ol' dependency walker from yester-year. Just when COM was starting to be a vague memory, it came back and reminded me just how much trouble it can cause!
Thanks!

Is there an API available to enable/disable Windows SP2 firewall on a given connection?
I’ve read through the Windows SP2 Firewall API, but it seems there is no mean to do this, neither enabling nor disabling “pop3”, “FTP server”…etc on a given connection.
These properties are displayed in the Windows SP2 Firewall GUI under ‘Network connection settings’ of the ‘advanced’ tab! There were some methods to do this with ICS/ICF…
Thanks!

Although I have been using COM for some time now, I am trying to do something something different from my usual experience and I have run into a problem that I am unable to solve at the moment, and would be grateful for any assistance.
My intention is to have a singleton EXE COM server running on a LAN connected computer. This server will be started once, and then remote users can connected to it. I am running currently as the interactive user, but may change this to a service at a later date. If the remote and local computers are both logged in as the same user, then everything works fine as expected.
However, if a different user runs the client, and tries to access the running version on the server then there is no response, and instead another instance of the server program is started despite supposed to being a singleton.
Please could anyone account for the difference between in behaviour? I have tried many different security configurations including administrator, but have been unable to overcome this problem. The security initialization code reads
CoInitializeSecurity(NULL, -1, NULL, NULL, RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE,<br />
RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE, NULL, EOAC_NONE, NULL);<br />
which usually overcomes every problem for me. Thanking anyone in advance who gives this some attention.

If anyone is interested, I have now been able to resolve all my problems.
Once I had denied launch permission to everyone, and also reste the security info the OleView, everything worked fine, and continues to work perfectly.
This one took me a long to find, despite being in and out of the dcomcnfg program checking the permissions. I hope that this response will be able to help without anyone else that has similar problems.

Hi, I have a little knowledge in COM technology, in fact I have develop some(very simple ones) COM objects. As usual the requirements are demanding advanced technical solutions, and seems(remember I'm a begineer) that COM is not enough to accomplish this. What i have read is that DCOM and COM+ follows COM. But know is Services Oriented Architecture (Web Services?. So could anyone explain me COM evolution.
Besides, Can i throw an exception in a COM object and a Delphi app consume my COM??
Tnx
