DCDMarsh: Proxy Server and Stub Server
Note To use this sample, you must first build the Register sample.
The DCDMarsh sample builds the DCDMARSH.DLL proxy/stub server. DCDMARSH.DLL works with DCDSERVE.EXE and DCOMDRAW.EXE to provide standard marshaling of the ISharePaper and IPaperSink custom interfaces across process and machine boundaries.
In this set of samples, DCDMARSH.DLL is the marshaling server, DCDSERVE.EXE is the out-of-process component server, and DCOMDRAW.EXE is the client. As a Distributed COM (DCOM) sample, DCOMDRAW.EXE creates and uses components housed in the DCDSERVE.EXE server. Multiple DCOMDraw clients running on multiple computers connected to a network can access a shared single COPaper object housed in the DCDSERVE.EXE server.
Compared to previous samples requiring marshaling across process or machine boundaries, DCDMarsh requires no significant differences in how you provide standard marshaling for your custom interfaces. This lesson is therefore almost completely based on the standard marshaling techniques that were used in the Marshal sample.
