Re: Using same interfaces for in-proc vs. out-proc

Why? They describe the same interfaces with the same IIDs, right? Why do =

My concern is the interfaces

Yes. But, again, you'll have a problem if the one that was registered =

your interfaces from the registry.
How would the non-unique IID interfaces resolve which
server they referred to?
IIDs do not refer to a server: after all, thousands of servers implement =
IUnknown or IDispatch. IIDs (often) refer to a LIBID, with the type =
library providing marshalling support. Now, you are attempting to tie a =
LIBID to a server: your problems stem from that.
