Hi,

I'm fairly new to COM, and I was wondering what's going on with my COM
Server/Client.

I've built an out of process COM server. Multiuse and multithreaded. Plain
old Exe (as oppose to NT Service) Used the wizard to build the server, and
added one COM object, with 3 interfaces. Compiles, runs fine... no... I
never did a nmake, or regsvr32 on the ps.dll file. My client imports the tlb
and does the usual coinitialize and createinstance on the smart pointer.

but my client can still connect. I thought all Out of Process servers
needed a proxy/stub to work. I can access my COM object all without the
ps.dll

Could someone out there tell me what's going on? is the out of process
server running the marshalling code within it?

also, why does the registry point to my exe? and not to a dll of some sort?

Please explain to this confused COM novice.
