[COM+] Is is still useful ?

[Oriane]

Hi,

Being always reluctant to dig into COM+, I never really understand what make
it useful when we use .Net. I know it was still useful by the time .Net 1.1
was released, but is it still true ?

Best regards

As soon as a solution does not exist in Net, but as you say, that is
everyday less.
There was by instance a question in this newsgroup today about FTP, that
does not exist in Net 1.x but does exist in Net 2.0 and latter.

Be aware that much Net are (were) infact wrappers around Com objects like by
instance Sharepoint where that is heavily done.

That is direct a situation where almost every dispose is overridden to
release those Com objects and almost every object needs to invoke dispose at
the end to release those Com objects.

Ok but speaking about COM + (not COM), what doest it make that .Net 3.5 SP1
does not ? For instance, Role Based security and distributed transaction are
now handled by .Net...

Thanks for your reply

hello Oriane


Dig a bit more to discover MTS and DTC and you wil discover that COM+ is
still a very valid tool for distributed enterprise programmers
