Overview

This reference speaks to the huge base of Visual Basic developers who, until now, could only learn about COM by reading books written for C++ programmers. Now they can get up to speed quickly and participate in Microsoft's strategy for distributed computing. The Foreword is by Don Box, the industry guru for COM technology.

This is an advanced programming and application development guide for building N-tier business objects for distributed solutions. Author Ted Pattison guides you through COM/DCOM and shows you how to create distributed applications using Visual Basic 6.0 instead of C++. The author introduces the Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) and ties everything together with the Common Object Model (COM).
