Summary

This chapter took a look at one of the newest capabilities provided to the Visual Basic world. VB 2005 using the .NET Framework 3.0 is a great combination for building advanced services that take ASP.NET Web Services, .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, and MSMQ to the next level.

Though not exhaustive, this chapter broadly outlined the basics of the framework. As you start to dig deeper in the technology, you will find capabilities that are strong and extensible.
