-
- There is indeed a best one, depending on the tasks the MIB Server needs
- to perform. If you just need to retrieve or change a value and return,
- then the DLL-based MIB Server is by far the better choice. But if the
- object of interest is handled by a MIB Server that's also responding to
- or waiting on events (like its own external device or its own UI), then
- the WinApp-based MIB Server is the better choice. The key difference, as
- you correctly point out, is that the DLL interface is via direct
- function calls into the MIB Server; the WinApp interface is via message
- exchange among Windows Applications.

-
- We're working to get examples of both DLL and WinApp MIB Servers into
- the next version of the paper, and that should be available toward the
- end of this month.
