COM and ActiveX® interoperability is available in the full .NET Framework. Managed .NET Compact Framework code can call unmanaged functions residing in DLLs using Platform Invoke (P/Invoke), but full COM and ActiveX support is not available in the .NET Compact Framework. Odyssey Software's CFCOM becomes the intervening layer that exposes COM objects and ActiveX controls as .NET equivalences to .NET Compact Framework applications using a memory foot print that is only about 30K.
