| Definition
| RCW is a metadata wrapper allowing .NET applications to call COM components. For non-OLE automation interfaces, a custom RCW must be written to map the COM types to .NET Framework-compatible types. For OLE automation interfaces, an RCW is a .NET assembly generated from the COM component's type library using the Type Library Importer tool.
