Essential IDL: Interface Design for COM (The DevelopMentor Series)
by Martin Gudgin
Category: Computers

"In particular, Essential IDL focuses on IDL constructs that support the efficient marshalling of data as performed by the COM interception layer. Taking a top-down approach, this book opens with the basics of defining interfaces and then details data types, pointers and arrays, aliasing, and IDL support for asynchronous COM. Numerous examples of both server-side and client-side programming illustrate concepts and techniques throughout the book."--Jacket
