What are the technical limitations of COM Interop?-interview04032012

The .NET Framework was developed to address the limitations of COM. Because of this evolution, there are limits to the .NET features that you can use from COM. The following list describes these limits: Static members : COM requires objects to be created before use, so it does not support .NET Static members. New members : COM flattens the inheritance tree of .NET objects, so members in a derived class that hides members inherited from a base class are not callable. Constructors with parameters : COM can’t pass parameters to an object’s constructor.
