Building Component Software Using COM/DCOM

Duration: 5 days | Price: $2495 | Class Dates:

Students Will Learn:

COM/DCOM Software Model
Using Interfaces
Class Factories
Building ActiveX Controls

Building COM Clients and Servers
MFC vs. ATL
Using Automation
Programming with DCOM

Description: This hands on COM/DCOM training course introduces the student to the fundamental concepts of building reusable software components and applications using COM and DCOM. Students initially build server components and client applications using low-level COM techniques in order to thoroughly understand the principles involved. Subsequently they learn to employ ATL and MFC to build more sophisticated programs. Topics covered in detail include: creating COM components using ATL and deploying them in client applications; building automation-based server applications that provide components to other applications; creating and using ActiveX controls; and component support for multithreading. Students are then introduced to the problems of distributing components across a network. The fundamentals of DCOM and mechanisms for dealing with the security issues of distributed components are introduced.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of C++. Basic knowledge of Windows. Minimal experience with MFC is helpful but not required.
