From Previous Article "During discussions in forums, I come across many people who want to write COM/ATL DLL, but don't know how to create properties, methods or raise events from component or strive for fundamental knowledge to create them. For them, I had written this article in VC++ 6.0. Since Visual Studio 6 is now out of support, many beginners requested me for the same article using Visual Studio 2005/2008 as there is much GUI difference between the two.

So, I am presenting the same article using Visual Studio 2005 and as it's a new article, I have to provide readers with something new, otherwise they will reject this article. .NET application is slowly eating into Visual C++ share of applications. So to follow popular demand, I will show how to use COM component in .NET application instead of UnManaged Application. As it is a beginner article, I am included a few extra screenshots in the article. Please don't flame for using the same. "

Now this article is all about the creating COM\ATL component in Visual Studio 2012(thanks Microsoft!). There is massive change in UI from its previous version and also lot of new functionality has been added. Though I am still going through its functionality. Would look forward adding a tip on its functionality. Initially I have installed VS2012 to see MS implementation of C++11 Standards, since I would love see some of new standard working in front of my eyes, however that not a topic of today.

With newer VS, Microsoft has decided to dropped support for New Window form in managed C++ and C++/CLI is used for interoperability only(What that mean? Unmanaged C++ has some future now?). Also, with advancement of DotNet, COM technology is losing its sheen day by day, however just grim picture aside, let's focus of article topic, since MS still supporting it, in new development environment you can still work and create COM component.
