Late binding is a mechanism in which the method being called upon an object is looked up by name at runtime.
Late binding is a mechanism in which the method being called upon an object is looked up by name at runtime.
The specific type of a late bound object is unknown to the compiler at compile time. This is contrasted with early binding, where relationships between objects, methods are properties are established during compile time.
It is expected that questions tagged late-binding specifically relate to programming using late bound code. You should also tag your post with the specific programming language being used.
Example (VBA):
' late bound objects are declared As Object
Dim obj As Object
Set obj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
