Product Description

Product Description

The focus of the book is on COM Interoperability (since it's a much larger subject), and the heart of the discussion is broken down into four parts:

  • Using COM Components Within the .NET Framework
  • Using .NET Framework Components from COM
  • Designing Good .NET Framework Components for COM Clients
  • Designing Good COM Components for .NET Framework Clients

The scope of the book is just about everything related to using "unmanaged code" in the .NET Framework. Technologies built on top of COM Interoperability are also covered-Interoperability of Windows Forms Controls and ActiveX controls, Interoperability with COM+, and Interoperability with Distributed COM (DCOM). Although Platform Invocation Services is a separate technology from COM Interoperability, there are many areas of overlap, so including in the book is a natural fit. All of these technologies are a core part of the Common Language Runtime and .NET Framework, and will likely be used not only as the path of migration for existing software projects, but for brand new software development for the next several years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive book, 20 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This is a very fat and heavy book, covering what seems on the surface to be only a very small part of the .NET infrastructure. However, when you start reading you quickly realise that the topic is much more complex and that the book really does do it justice.

There is some repetition between chapters - some things that appear as "caution" or "tip" boxes in one place are repeated inline in others. However, this does mean that each section is more self-contained, which is a benefit compared to flipping back and forth in a 1600 page book!

The last few hundred pages consist of appendices which mainly restate material in the online Microsoft documentation - this unnecessary waste of paper is the only blemish on an otherwise excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, comprehensive interop bible, 5 Nov 2003
This is a very comprehensive interoperability book. I'm working with some very complicated COM and .Net interoperability issues and it's helped to pull my bacon out of the fire on a number of occasions now. Definitely my bible for interop. I prefer it over "Professional Visual Basic Interoperability" by Hollis and Lhotka as its moch more comprehensive, which is reflected in its size: the Hollis and Lhotka book is around 400 pages and this one is around 1500 pages and you really are getting 3 or 4 times the information
