is .NET using COM/COM+ technologies?

[Steve]

I want to know what technologies make distributed computing possible in
..NET? Is .NET framework CLR using COM and COM+ technologies?

Please advise. thanks!!

 

[Michael D. Ober]

In some instances, yes. In others, no. .NET uses RPC as well as COM/COM+
technologies.

The CLR is just a set of byte-code operations so has nothing to do with COM.
Some of the framework does use COM and you can create COM components.
Distributed computing and be done through many ways depending on your
requirments. One common way might be to use .NET Remoting.

Hello Steve,

Behind .NET or with .NET? it's a bit different things, because behind the
..net c++ and com/dcom wide used.
But for .NET they diminish that stuff and gave us more highlevel tools, such
as EnterpriseServices, .NET Remoting

..NET remoting does not use COM. The Enterprise Services classes are a
very thin wapper around COM+.
