Average Customer Review: Based on 11 reviews. Amazon.com Sales Rank: 1404765 Product Description C# COM+ Programming is a must-have for developers already working with COM+ who are ready to transition to the .NET Platform. You will be able to take your existing skills as a COM+ component programmer into the .NET Framework quickly and easily. Featured Customer Reviews Just what I needed, January 14, 2008 If you're looking to get a solid background and understanding on the subject matter, this book does a very good job of covering the bases (not just the basics). What's better is that it comes in a size (# of pages) that one can actually hope to digest. Well done. Very Shallow..., November 30, 2002 I honestly don't like writing bad reviews but I feel compelled to save people money when I can. Unless you are looking for a manager's overview of COM+ programming don't buy this book. Coverage of COM+ itself is very light. The author appears to assume that the reader has picked that up someplace else... probably by writing COM+ components in VB 6. There are no in-depth discussions of the technology or even best practices. The jist of this book is that now you use attributes to COM+ enable your code written in C#. The coverage of what attributes are available to you and within those attributes what options are supported and what they mean is likewise incomplete and lacking in depth. However, where I really lost respect for this book was when I looked in the registry to see what was going on from a COM perspective for the classes that I had built based on the code fragments in the text. What a mess. Stale registry entries for previous builds of my components were everywhere. It took me an hour to get the mess cleaned up and several more to piece together what was going on and realize that there are a lot of COM specific attributes never mentioned in this book that you need to known about in order to build a COM+ component _correctly_ using C#. And as I have discovered that is the crux of the situation. To do COM+ using C# you need to be _very_ familiar with COM-CLR interop. Basically you need _much_ more information than this book provides. In summary I believe that reading this book will serve only to make one `dangerous' not proficient in COM+ development using C#. Keep looking..., November 13, 2002 This book is poorly organized and lacks focus. The topics' coverage is shallow. Even with the lightweight content, it should be titled or described as "How to Transition COM+ programming with VB to C#". Keep looking..., November 12, 2002 COM+ is equivalent with Java's EJB. I was utterly disappointed to find the book littered with misspellings. There is no depth to its topic coverage. The book's table of contents is misleading. Save your heard earned money and wait for something near the quality displayed by Oreilly's Enterprise JavaBeans. Now I understand C# and COM+, September 28, 2002 Excellent book for a person that needs to understand how C# and COM+ work together. Well written.
