This sample code is intended to illustrate a concept, and it shows only the code that is relevant to that concept. It may not meet the security requirements for a specific environment, and it should not be used exactly as shown. We recommend that you add security and error-handling code to make your projects more secure and robust. Microsoft provides this sample code "AS IS" with no warranties. |

Building and Running the Sample
This sample uses three components: the server, the marshaling DLL, and the driver.
To build and register the components
Open the solution file Labrador.sln
From the Build menu, click Build Solution.
The server, the marshaling DLL, and the driver will be built and registered.
To run the driver
In Solution Explorer, right-click the labdriv project and select Set as StartUp Project.
From the Debug menu, click Start Without Debugging.
The driver will create an object, make a few calls into it, and then release it.
