Answer / zubeir
There are two kind of components: in-process and out-of-
process. This is identified by where the component runs
when it is invoked. That is, (i) if a component sits inside
the calling process's address space, it is an in-process
component and (ii) if a component runs in its own address
space when invoked, it is an out-of-process component.
The data transmission between out-of-process component and
the calling process must be carried out by some IPC
mechanism while it is not required for the other one.

In-proc server is a COM component, when instance is the
server is loaded into the caller process space. In-Proc
server can be easily identified by .dll extension.
Out-of-Proc server is a COM component that run in its own
process space and for any instances created by the users, a
proxy is created within the users process space. Proxy is
responsible for interacting with the server to carry out
operation on behalf of the client. (.exe extension).
