Login: Automation over DCOM

Introduction

We have learned, what automation is and created a login management automation server and automation client applications. But wouldn't it be nice, to extend our learning over DCOM, so that the client applications can communicate the server over the network on different machines, through DCOM. This would make our application more powerful and would justify the logic of creating the Login server and client applications different and not mixing the code of both into one.

Login: Automation Server

Introduction:

OLE Automation simplifies the task of automating applications. On one hand it enables an application to manipulate objects implemented in another application and on the other hand, it helps an application to expose objects that can be manipulated by other applications.

Login: Automation Client

Introduction:

We have learned what automation is and created a login management automation server. Now it's time to build a client application for that server to be more meaningful. You may be guessing why so much work has been done for just reading and writing a simple database, but now you will understand the benefits of this automation technique.
