Chapter 40. COM+ Enterprise Services
IN BRIEF
COM+ is a set of services that are provided to applications to facilitate enterprise-scale development. This chapter will provide you with an overview of how COM+ works and how it evolved. After a brief overview of COM+, you will spend the rest of the chapter developing serviced components. Serviced components are classes that are managed by COM+ services.
COM+ provides application developers with the ability to quickly and easily share property data and perform things such as two-phase commit transactions, just-in-time activation, object pooling, automatic object construction, and much more. After reading this chapter, you should have a good idea of what COM+ is, how it works, and how to write C# code that takes advantage of COM+.
