COM/DCOM and OLE Automation
>>COM was used to execute code that was built with another language. A COM component writen in C++ could be used by VB or FoxPro, for example.
And this is one of its biggest drawbacks. A string in C++ is not the same as a string in VB, so you have to code around it. .NET improves on COM by abstracting this stuff away from the developer with common type system.
