Component Technology
Today i would like to discuss with you regarding Component Technology, as it the most talked about technology today and I want you to know regarding that. As per this technology, certain platform independent modules (components) can be created by programmers and made available to any one who would like to use them in their applications.
If a module is created using Visual Basic and if Component Technology is not used, the module can only be used by Visual Basic programmers. However, if the same module is created using the Component Technology, then it can be used by anyone who has an access to the module, irrespective of the software used.This powerful technology makes it possible for programmers to reuse Components across heterogeneous platforms.
COM(Component Object Model)is one such technology supported by Microsoft. COM components can be created using VB,VC++,VJ++,C,C++ etc
DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) allows the COM components To be accessed on remote networks.
