Features: "COM+ and Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Distributed Application Development (2nd Edition)" This book includes the following main content:
· Apply the principles of interface-based programming – the milestone of COM/COM+ – to build large-scale, scalable applications;
· Master key COM concepts, including class loading, object activation, remote control, and component versioning;
· Use configured components and learn how to share resources in COM+ applications, such as threads, memory, database connections, and pooled objects;
· Port your existing programming knowledge of Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) to COM+ and Windows 2000;
· Learn transactional programming techniques to maintain high throughput and fast response times as the number of users increases;
· Use Visual Basic to create components that can easily integrate with Internet Information Server (IIS) and Active Server Pages (ASP) to build robust Web-based solutions;
· Add message passing and event notification functionality to your applications;
· Leverage the built-in integrated security services in Windows 2000, COM+, and IIS. Use your intelligence to create custom business logic rather than wasting it on writing complex infrastructure code. This book is a best-selling title, and the second edition has been fully updated, including the distributed application framework – COM+ 1.0 – built into the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system. From this book, you can gain professional guidance on using Visual Basic development tools to write software that leverages COM+ services to build robust, multi-tier solutions scalable to thousands of users. Author Ted Pattison hints at the internal complexity of the "Component Object Model (COM)," condensing the knowledge you need to program with COM+ and Visual Basic into this concise, practical book.
