Getting Started with ActiveX Automation Using VB.NET

ActiveX Automation, also known as COM (Common Object Model) or simply Automation, is a Microsoft standard for interaction between Windows programs. The standard enables one application to use the functions of another application in such a smoothly integrated way that the two programs appear to be a single program. The former application is known as the client and the latter is called the server.

ActiveX Clients and Servers
The client application can be any Windows application that is capable of issuing commands in any of the COM-supporting programming or scripting languages, including:
• Visual Basic, VB.NET, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), and VBScript (Visual Basic Script)
• Visual C, Visual C++, Visual C#, and other versions of C for Windows
• Java, Visual J++, Visual J#, JavaScript, and JScript
• Any language for which there is an ActiveX scripting engine that runs in the Windows Scripting Host, including PERL, Python, and REXX
