COM Interop Sample: COM Client and .NET Server
This sample demonstrates the interoperation of a COM Client and a .NET Server that performs mortgage calculations. In this example, the client creates and calls an instance of the managed Loan class, passes four arguments (one of those four being equal to zero) to the instance, and displays the computations. Code examples from this sample appear throughout this section.
