CDO and ADO

CDO for Windows 2000 integrates with the Microsoft® ActiveX® Data Objects (ADO) Version 2.5 component to present a consistent mechanism for managing data that comprises a message. Additionally, the CDO for Windows 2000 Message and BodyPart COM classes expose the OLE DB 2.5 interfaces required by the TRow CoType. C++ programmers can access the data using these OLE DB 2.5 interfaces. These CDO objects are polymorphs of the standard OLE DB Row object and the ADO Record object.

ADO and OLE DB are designed for universal access to many types of data. You can learn more about ADO and OLE DB at the Microsoft Universal Data Access Web site at http://www.microsoft.com/data.
