marshaling

Marshaling in Windows development refers to the process of passing data between different runtime environments, such as between Win32 and WinRT components. This tag covers techniques for calling WinRT components from Win32 processes, particularly in the context of the Desktop Bridge. Topics include handling data type conversions, managing object lifetimes, and ensuring proper communication across the boundary. Developers migrating business logic to WinRT components will encounter marshaling challenges related to package identity and component registration. The content focuses on practical solutions for enabling interoperability between classic Win32 applications and modern Windows Runtime APIs.
