I realize this is a topic that would requires several thousand page books, so are there a few keywords I should search for when looking for a book on amazon? I've been using COM for a few months and I am transitioning to the .NET Framework. It appears that COM is dead in the new framework. What has replaced it? Is there a new viable COM substitute offered by .NET?? I'm reading "Programming .NET" by author Jeff Prosise and he doesn't get into the COM topic except for a few blurbs late in the book.

what happened to COM in .NET Framework?

.NET doesn't use COM any more. It can use your old COM components, but .NET itself does'nt make them anymore.
I'm not very into .NET, but if I'mot mistaken it uses an assembly cache where all shared modules reside which export classes and stuff. This can be seen as the "replacement" of COM.
