Welcome to VBOrb


About VBOrb

With VBOrb you can write CORBA Visual Basic clients and servers. CORBA clients can call methods of remote objects written in any language and CORBA servers can call back methods of your local objects. For instance you can write your server in Java using a JavaORB and your client in VisualBasic using VBOrb. CORBA is an open standard in opposite of Microsoft DCOM or COM+. CORBA is specified by the OMG.

You can use VBOrb instead of a COM-CORBA-Brigde or to access EJBs (Enterprise Java Beans) or to remote control a Microsoft program by using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Evaluate by yourself.

VBOrb feature list

Additional I tell you what is not supported by VBOrb. Most ORB vendors didn't mention it although indeed they have missing features also.
