COM+ Unleashed provides a complete understanding of how to build and implement COM components, focusing on using COM+. This book shows you how to build COM objects and encapsulate their functionality, use distributed COM to build client/server and Web-based enterprise applications, and enhance applications with distributed services (MTS, MSMQ). You'll also see how to fully utilize the COM+ model to enhance productivity and to create highly flexible and powerful applications and encapsulate business logic into COM objects. You'll learn how to apply the COM+ model creatively and effectively to solve everyday programming problems, enhance the efficiency and functionality of your enterprise applications and build sophisticated distributed applications. The examples and programs in this book are written in C++.
