Future of COM Architecture :: COM
Author
Hi.
I am studying COM from Inside COM by Dale Rogerson. Thus far, this is the first and only COM book I read on COM. COM concept and implementation using C++ are simple enough. One reason is probably because I have read and is familiar with concepts in Modern C++ Design by Andre Alexandrescu. I plan to work on some simple COM designs in the coming months.
I would like to know what is the future of COM? How does .NET affect COM present and future? Is it possible to use COM components written in C++ in C#? I am a hardcore C++ programmer, but I may develop COM components for other languages if possible in the future.
Thanks,
Kuphryn

Ehh...
OLE, COM, NET... *if god wanted programs to mess with each other, he wouldn''t have had MS do it*

COM is teh 133+!!
No, seriously. If you don''t mind denting your reputation as a 133+ H4X0R then VB is definitely the way to go.

I hope there's no future for COM. I might be wrong, but isn't COM an ugly, bloated and flawed re-implementation of DLL mechanism?
EDIT: On the other hand, my remark is absolutely off-topic.

How does .NET affect COM present and future?
As has been mentioned, .NET is mostly intended as the successor to COM. If you read some recent literature out of Redmond, you will see the term "legacy COM" being used. I think that says it all.

Definitely! How would you describe C++ programmers that are and want to design and implement COM components?
