IOleLink::UnbindSource

Deactivates the connection between a linked object and its link source.

HRESULT UnbindSource(void);
Return Value
S_OK

Indicates the connection was deactivated.

Comments
You typically do not call IOleLink::UnbindSource directly. When it's necessary to deactivate the connection to the link source, your container typically calls IOleObject::Close or IUnknown::Release; the linked object's implementation of these methods calls IOleLink::UnbindSource. The linked object's IAdviseSink::OnClose implementation also calls IOleLink::UnbindSource.

Notes on Provided Implementation
The linked object's implementation of IOleLink::UnbindSource does nothing if the link source is not currently bound. If the link source is bound, IOleLink::UnbindSource calls the link source's IOleObject::Unadvise and IDataObject::DUnadvise implementations to delete the advisory connections to the link source. The IOleLink::UnbindSource method also calls the compound document's IOleClientSite::LockContainer implementation to unlock the containing compound document. This undoes the lock on the container and the advisory connections that were established in IOleLink::BindToSource. IOleLink::UnbindSource releases all the linked object's interface pointers to the link source.

Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native.
