Building and Running the Sample

This sample uses three components: the server, the marshaling DLL, and the driver.

To build and register the components

  1. Open the solution file Labrador.sln

  2. From the Build menu, click Build Solution.

    The server, the marshaling DLL, and the driver will be built and registered.

To run the driver

  • From the Debug menu, click Start Without Debugging.

    The driver will create an object, make a few calls into it, and then release it.
