COM Interop

COM Interop is a technology that allows modern software applications, like those built with .NET, to interact with older programs or components created using the Windows Component Object Model (COM). Think of it as a bridge enabling new and old software to communicate and work together seamlessly. This is useful when integrating legacy systems or third-party components into newer applications without rewriting them entirely. Essentially, COM Interop ensures compatibility and smooth data exchange between different software technologies within the Windows environment.
