POIs there any safe way to keep member pointers to COM objects from another dll in a singleton COM object?

    <p>I recently ran into a problem with a <code>COM</code> object that was using a <strong>singleton class factory</strong> and had members that were pointers to other COM objects implemented in a different DLL than the singleton object.</p> <p>These other COM objects were created by the singleton object and that was the only reference to them.</p> <p>Since the singleton object is never destroyed until its module is unloaded, what seemed to be happening is that sometimes at that point the DLL where the other COM objects (members of the singleton) were implemented had already been unloaded and in that case there would be a crash when the singleton released its references to those objects in its destructor.</p> <p>The DLL implementing the other COM objects is aware that there are references held to the objects and returns <code>S_FALSE</code> from its <code>DllCanUnloadNow</code> method.</p> <p>However, this doesn't seem to prevent the DLL from being unloaded always.</p> <p>Is there any safe way to keep member pointers to COM objects from another dll in a singleton COM object?</p>

    1. COA really ugly hack to prevent a dll from unloading is to LoadLibrary such dll and don't release it, though I don't know if it work with COM.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
