Chapter 12: IIS Applications and Microsoft Transaction Server
Overview
At the beginning of Chapter 11, "Using ActiveX DLLs from WebClasses," I discussed how WebClasses don't have access to the ObjectContext object or to the ScriptingContext object. You also saw that you have problems accessing objects in external ActiveX DLLs unless they run inside Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). The VB Developer's Guide to COM and COM+ by Wayne Freeze (1999, Sybex—part of this series of VB Developer's Guides) explains MTS and COM+ in detail. This chapter focuses only on accessing MTS objects from WebClasses. You'll see how to connect WebClasses to transactional and non-transactional components running inside MTS.
