Does anyone know where I can get an online tutorial for COM programming? My goal is to do some programming in C++ and eventually be able to use it in VB.NET. Would appriciate any help.
Thanks,

Hi,
Search Microsoft.com for Dr GUI and COM - very friendly articles on COM and ATL.
Also there are a stack of COM tutorials on Microsofts site - Some are very good. There is an article called something like "C++ to COM" and it describes how you can create COM-like behaviour through C++ without COM. This gives an insight into how and why COM works like it does.
Have a look at that and, if you need more specific links then I have theses at home, post back here and I will try and locate them for you...

Hi,
C++ to COM link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dncomg/html/msdn_cpptocom.asp
There are lots of different DR Gui COM articles and so it will be best to search for this on MS's site.
The book I used was Inside DCOM from Microsoft Press, don't know if it's still available. Pretty good book, not the easiest to read though.

I'm clearly an absolute beginner when it comes to using the web, but today I found a great site which can help you. It is called google and contains a lot of other web site, some of them deal with COM/DCOM: http://www.google.com/search?q=COM%2FDCOM

while alot of these sites are helpful, they don't really discuss the programming side of the COM. This is the side that is most useful, since I have been reading up on COM thanks to all the links. I've seen some stuff dealing with the interface, __interface operators, as well as a macro called DEFINE_INTERFACE or something like that. How do I integrate them into COM. I understand that with COM you have to create an interface and then the code behind it, but how to I make it portable to say Visual Basic?
thanks for the help.
