COM+ Programming: A Practical Guide Using Visual C++ and ATL

Several books teach COM and COM+, but this is one of the first to focus on COM/COM+ from a developer's perspective. Using case studies and practical programming examples, the author uncovers COM and COM+ in detail -- and shows how to avoid the traps and pitfalls that await the unwary. COM/COM+ expert Pradeep Tapadiya presents techniques for designing interfaces, building COM servers, synchronization, security, transactions, event notification issues, working with queued components, and administering distributed object environments. This book serves both novice programmers and experienced developers who wish to use COM+ to develop applications in the enterprise.
