I am new to programming database in c++ using ADO. I did some application and it was ok. the thing that matters me:

I know that pointer to an object use -> to access members and an object uses . to access them:

in ADO how _ConnectionPtr uses the two: . and -> to access members. I searched to much but I didn't get a satisfying answer. any help is appreciated.

_ConnectionPtr pConnection;
pConnection.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection)); // 1 using `.`
pConnection->Open(...); // 2 using `->`

They are probably overloaded in the `_ConnectionPtr` class. – πάντα ῥεῖ Oct 31 '16 at 21:49
