early binding
-
[programming]
A COM technique an application uses to access an object. In early binding, an object's properties and methods are discovered from an interface at compile time, instead of being checked at run time as in late binding. This difference often gives early binding performance benefits over late binding. There are two types of early binding: DispID binding and vTable binding.
