    Will .NET Replace COM/ActiveX?

    I get the impression COM/ActiveX will become largely redundant in the future. Is this true?

    *takesADeepLookIntoHisMagicITCrystalBall* hmmmmm.... I see things... events... mountains... evil men... activeX controls... COM components... aaaaaaaaaahhh... *gasp*

    The future is changing all the time. It's impossible to see more at this time.







    Seriously, I hope it will replace those constructs, they are horribly clumsy compared to .NET components.

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    YES.

    .NET Framework has no use for that GLUE to hold together different lang. modules. It will continue to support COM/ActiveX only for compatibility with older programs.
