office-pia

I am currently working on a c# project, where I need to access Outlook. The development is being done on two different machines, one of which has office installed, and one of which doesn't.

I have an application that uses Office interop assemblies. I am aware about the "Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW)" managed by the runtime. But I am not very sure how the reference count gets incremented. MSDN says, RCW keeps just one reference to the wrapped COM object regardless of the number of managed clients calling it. If I understand it correctly, on the following example, using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word; static void Foo(Application wrd) { /* .... */ } static void Main(string[] args) { var wrd = new Application(); Foo(wrd); /* .... */ } I am passing the instance wrd to another method.
