COM & .NET Component Services

Summary

COM+ loosely coupled events demonstrate all of the core COM+ component services principles discussed in this book: the service has evolved to improve an existing solution; it offers a spectrum of features, from simple, to administrative Component Services Explorer support, to advanced programmatic features; and it interacts with almost all of the other COM+ services, such as transactions, security, and queued components. Although this chapter has discussed the main points of the service, numerous other possibilities exist, including pooled persistent subscribers. The important lesson is that once you understand how each individual service works, you can start combining the services in powerful and synergetic ways. COM+ loosely coupled events are the last COM+ component service described in this book. You will now learn about .NET and see how it utilizes COM+ component services.
