Component Interface
A server component's interface is made up of the objects it exposes, along with the properties, methods, and events for those objects. This interface is all the client code that uses the component needs to know about, and it is the stuff you can see when you open the Object Browser in the Visual Basic IDE and select a referenced component. The sample DHO exposes only two types of objects, and we defined a small set of functionality they must provide, so we can now define their interfaces, as shown in Table 1.
