Raising Events 1

[Apinedo]

Hi.
I am working with MTS and I have heard that Raising Events are a bad idea.
Is it true?
I have heard Raising Events may not work with some vertions of Windows98.

Thanks

Hi zallen.
Well, I am working with Visual Basic 6.0.
I need that my MTS component sends continuously information to the client but I don't want the component stops its execution (I dont want that the method finishes to return information).

I thougth it was a good idea (I am talking about using Raising Events) but I found an article (

http://www.asptoday.com/articles/20000614.htm)

and now
I don't know what to do.

Please read the article and then write me.

Thanks [sig][/sig]

Apinedo,

Every book and article that I read discourages the use of Events from MTS components. Actually, it is discouraged from any Data-Centric Business Object -- basically any back-end ActiveX DLL or ActiveX EXE. Two way communication complicates matters and has a bad effect on network traffic.

I understand if you don't want to send back a ton of parameters from your methods; however, you can try to send back one parameter that serializes all of data that you need to send back. Have you thought of using PropertyBag objects?

Maybe you should use callback to send message to client from your components!

Moreover you can use MSMQ to send asynchronous message !

In a short word,i think using other technology may be a good choice instead of raising events!

Hope it helps!
