C# COM+ Programming (Professional Mindware)

C# COM+ Programming is a must-have for developers already working with COM+ who are ready to transition to the .NET Platform. You will be able to take your existing skills as a COM+ component programmer into the .NET Framework quickly and easily. C# COM+ Programming Your Complete Guide to COM+ Services in the .NET Framework Whether you want to integrate existing COM+ services into the .NET Framework or create all-new .NET COM+ services using C#, this unique guide shows you the way. With lucid explanations and a generous helping of sample components and source code, COM+ expert Derek Beyer shows you step by step how to consume COM components from .NET, consume .NET components from COM, and create .NETCOM+ components for transactions, security, events, object pooling, queuing, and remoting. Your Road Map to COM+ and .NET Integration

• Understand the .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime
• Convert COM type libraries into .NET namespaces
• Transform .NET assemblies into COM type libraries
• Harness JIT activation, synchronization, and AutoComplete in a transaction component
• Create a role-based security component
• Write a loosely coupled events component and create subscriptions with COM+ Explorer
• Learn the ins and outs of object pooling, from attributes to scalability
• Get the scoop on MSMQ, exceptions, error handling, and other queuing issues
• Use SOAP, channels, formatters, proxies, and other tools to create remoting serviced components
