Loosely coupled events in COM+

[Mike Lewis]

I have been experimenting with loosely-coupled events, with some excellent help from the articles on COM+ on Craig Berntson's site (

http://www.craigberntson.com).

I've successfully created a COM component which IMPLEMENTS an events class. My client app can use this to execute methods of my component. This works OK.

However, I was hoping that this would allow me to run the COM methods asynchronously (as discussed in thread184-1125653). Instead, my client app suspends while the COM component is running.

Can anyone give any insights into what I might be missing?

Mike

Are you using Loosely Coupled Events or Queued Components?

Mike,

It's difficult to figure out what's going on. Can you pare down the code to something simple and email it directly to me? Note that I'll be in Europe beginning Tuesday and will have limited access to email for two weeks.

Cragi,

That's very kind of you. I'll send you something today.

Mike
