Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Aimed at the more experienced developer or Windows administrator responsible for deployment, COM and.NET Component Services provides an expert guide to getting the most out of COM+services on the Windows 2000/XP platform, including material on the new.NET platform. This guide will help you create state-of-the-art, scalable Windows components that take full advantage of transactions, object pooling, and powerful administrative features available in COM7#43;.

While Microsoft is about to replace COM components with the new.NET standard, COM+ is still a viable technology and will be fully supported (and even enhanced) in the new.NET Framework. Much of COM and.NET Component Services concentrates on C++ and Visual Basic examples that explore areas of functionality, plus practical tips for configuring and administering components with such tools as the COM+ Services Explorer.

The expert perspective here will help you design components that work with COM+ effectively. There is plenty of background material here on COM+ topics like marshalling and interception, which allow objects to be pooled behind the scenes on the Windows platform. But the focus is on the real APIs and programming techniques developers need to work with COM+. This practical focus extends to specific suggestions and "pitfalls" to avoid for each area of COM+ development. There is good material on COM+ transactions here, along with some excellent material on asynchronous components that tap COM+ queuing capabilities.

The book concludes with a long chapter on.NET, which brings this title up-to-speed with Microsoft's new programming platform. The author recaps the APIs covered earlier in the book using.NET and C#. (COM+ is still a part of.NET, but you'll use a different set of APIs and programming language to work with it.) The book concludes with a glance at new COM+ 1.5 features, plus a quick introduction to.NET.

In all, this title strikes a good balance between the old and the new. After reading this smart and fast-moving text, developers will be able to learn COM+ skills right now that will have practical benefit for both current and future Windows software. --Richard Dragan

Review
"This is a book I can see myself referring to during active development so I'd recommend it to programmers." - Paul Whitehead, Cvu, June 2002

4.0 out of 5 stars A good COM+ Component Services reference book, 2 Jan 2002
By V. Ojha "vb mcsd" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book serves its purpose of giving an overview of COM+ components services and the transactional framework it brings on Windows 2000 platform. It briefly discusses COM+ version 1.5, available in Windows XP.

To a developer, it can help in giving an overview of different component services and concepts - COM+ context switching, object pooling, Just in Time activation, COM+ catalog, COM+ security and Queued components. When to use what - what threading model is good in what circumstances - was explained with good examples. Author has used VB and VC++ code snippets (but not too much) throughout the book.
