This article is a direct follow-up to my previous article entitled "Understanding The COM Single-Threaded Apartment Part 1". In part one, we concentrated on building a strong foundation on the knowledge and understanding of the general architecture of the COM Single-Threaded Apartment Model. We explored the basic concepts behind STAs. We studied the STA in action by analysing the inner workings of several test objects and clients. In particular, we observed some simple inter-apartment method calls which have been pre-arranged by COM. We also noted how marshaling operations are performed transparently without our knowledge.
