- I'm involved in developing some client server software. The server will be
- developed under Visual C++ and 1 client under Visual basic & another under
- Visual C++.
-
- The server needs to pass large data structures to the client( the results
- of queries).
- The client must handle all the screen dialogs.
- Both clients need to get at the data in similar ways.
-
-
- So the question is what approach will allow me to transfer data
- between the server and both types of client in the simplest manner.
-
- 1. Use basic COM
- 2. OLE Automation.
- 3. OCX
- 4. A different approach
-
- Any Ideas?
