Q&A
| Q1: | What are some applications that support Automation? |
| A1: | All the Microsoft Office products, as well as Microsoft Visio, support Automation. You can create a useful application by building a client that makes use of multiple automation servers. For instance, you could calculate data in Excel and then format and print the data in Word. |
| Q2: | Can you automate a component without creating a reference to a type library? |
| A2: | Yes, but this gets considerably more complicated than when using a type library. First, you can't early bind to objects, because C# knows nothing about the objects. This means you have no IntelliSense drop-down list to help you navigate the object model; the chances for bugs in this situation are almost unbearably large. To use late binding in Visual C#, use the System.Type.InvokeMember method. |
