Hello,

1). What is the usual approach for passing byte stream between a client
(in VB and in VC++) and a COM server? It would be greatly appreciated if
anyone has sample codes which he/she can send to me.

2). I have a COM server that links in 3rd party DLLs. The COM server
works fine when it is implemented as an EXE server. But when
implenmented as an INPROC DLL server, it crashes as soon as I step into
the 3rd party DLL. Any insights?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
