What's the difference between this two kinds of implementation of DLL?

Question

Dear Sir,

I'm confused about these two kinds of of implementation of DLL.

The first one is using template of "WinRT DLL component" project.

The second one is like sample code "DLL server authoring", which implement ".idl" and ".def" file.

Do they have some restrictions on using them ? 

Thanks a lot.

@ChickC

The DLL Server Authoring sample is a sample using the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library. If you notice, the C++/CX extensions are not enabled in the project (under C/C++ / General / Enable Windows Run Time Extensions). There is currently very sparse documentation in this area. The end result is a WinRT DLL in either case you mentioned. The Visual C++ team has a blog where they have an overview here.

 

Thanks,
