Summary

This chapter's goals were as follows :

• To create a .NET class library (.dll)

• To work with serviced components

• To review the System.EnterpriseServices namespace

• To introduce the Component Services MMC snap-in

In this chapter you learned how to create a class library and then how to convert that class library to a serviced component. You saw several of the System.EnterpriseServices attributes. You then created a strong name key and demonstrated alternative techniques to register your serviced component into COM+. You used the Component Services MMC snap-in to view and configure each sample COM+ application. You received brief introductions to a few COM+ features (namely, transactional support, the Object Pooling feature, and the Queued Components feature).

In the next chapter you will explore distributed and concurrent processing.
