Understanding COM interface references for an ASP.NET REST API...
Hi all, I'm new-ish to Windows, so forgive me but my knowledge of COM is pretty amateur. I'm running a simulation application on a backend server that implements the COM interface IDispatch to create an interface called IRemoteControl like so:
We have a single host machine and expect 4-6 users at a time to be sending messages over an API to start, stop, and reset simulations all running on separate instances of this application on the backend server.
I can start the program and manipulate it quite easily in ASP.NET. I import the application's included Type Library DLL as a project dependency, then I can do something like
Whenever I send subsequent calls over a different route to do something like start/stop/reset the simulation, I'm able to do so on the most recently-spawned application instance.
However, when multiple users are connected to this server at the same time, I want to be able to assign each user a specific instance of this application, so that subsequent calls only affect that user's instance (so that a user can't send a "reset" message that resets the most recently spawned process, even if it was spawned by another user).
I can find the process ID of a spawned RemoteControl object using
