Summary

In this chapter you gained on overview of CDO and COM, the technology upon which CDO is built. You saw the CDO object model, learned the purpose of each object, and learned how the objects fit together. You learned how to obtain CDO if you don’t have it already and how to access online help for CDO. Finally, you got a taste for the kinds of applications that can be built using this technology.

In the next chapter, you’ll see a real-world messaging-enabled application using CDO.
