Hi there,
I am a C(++) developer with some raw windows api knowledge...no MFC, no ATL, just good old raw C(++). However, I am doing a graduation project now and the managers want me to program an application in VB.NET to keep it maintainable for the rest off the company (mmm, nobody here knows VB.NET yet). The application must be exists of a client, a COM+ server and a db server. I have to write all of them. I read some info on COM+ components, even got the MS training for COM+ components, which sucks, but I just can get the whole idea of accessing a remote COM+ component from a executable.
My question for you is to give me some hints. I have written a COM+ component that can be called from an application the machine is running on. I looked at the COM+ manager and tried to export the COM+ application as a proxy application. But now the problems start...it doesn't work the way I expected it. I just don't get it, how does the client knows the functions it can call on the remote server, isn't there a stub or something, or some kind of header file.
The best way for me to get it, is an exapmle project and application. Can anyone give me an example off a COM+ application that can be run on a "server" and the client, written in VB.NET, that accesses that COM+ component on the server? I would be very thankfull.
