TConnect

Use TLocalConnection to manage the connection between one or more client datasets or XML brokers and the providers that reside in the same application. When working with local providers, it is not necessary to set the RemoteServer property of a client dataset or XML broker to a TLocalConnection component. However, using TLocalConnection lets your application communicate directly with local providers through the AppServer property. This provides access to methods that would otherwise be unavailable, and makes it easier to scale up to a multi-tiered application at a later time. 

TLocalConnection implements the IAppServer interface.
