COM+ Programming from the Ground Up

In no time, you'll be come an instant expert on : COM+ fundamentals...class factories...COM+ objects...using standard controls...property pages and sheets...ActiveX...COM+ containers...storing data in COM+ objects...exchanging data between COM+ modules...managing multithreading...working with graphics...accessing the Net. You'll have instant access to the COM+ programming essentials you need to deploy component-based applications for Windows 2000.

Develop, manage, and deploy enterprise-ready applications for Windows 2000 using COM+ and the vital information contained in this book. You'll learn every aspect ofthis robust architecture--from the foundational IUnknown interface, class factories, and type libraries to connection points, transactions, and Event Services. You'll also find full details on each oleatomation data type, error handling, and COM+ threading models.

Expert programmer Mark Michaelis thoroughly presents all aspect of COM+ programming along with real-world examples and insightful tips no programmer should be without.
