Programming Distributed Applications With Com And Microsoft Visual Basic 6 0

This reference speaks to the huge base of Visual Basic developers who, until now, could only learn about COM by reading books written for C++ programmers. Now they can get up to speed quickly and participate in Microsoft's strategy for distributed computing. The Foreword is by Don Box, the industry guru for COM technology.

Building Distributed Applications with Visual Basic.NET provides corporate developers with the .NET Framework techniques necessary to build distributed and reusable business systems in VB.NET.

The serious guide to VB6 multi-tier and Web development With Microsoft's Visual Basic( 6 release, VB has come of age as an enterprise component development platform. If you're an experienced VB programmer, this book is all you need to leverage VB's new capabilities in business-critical multi-tier and Web application development. Other books cover aspects of distributed development with VB, but none are this comprehensive. Leading consultant Jim Maloney covers the waterfront: VB objects, COM, DCOM, networking, MTS, deployment, troubleshooting, and beyond. Understand multi-tier application architectures from the VB programmer's point of view; then master all these key skills: Developing advanced Win32( applications using COM objects ActiveX Data Objects, class objects, ActiveX Controls, and COM internals Leveraging AutomationNand adding Automation interfaces to your own applications Making the most of Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) Embedding Internet transfer and Web browser capabilities in your applications Using ActiveX documents for intranet development Distributed application debugging and maintenance techniques that really work Maloney presents authoritative comparisons of every Microsoft option for Web development; hard-to-find information on binary compatibility; a practical overview of ASP; and much more. If you're ready to build state-of-the-art VB software for the enterprise, you're ready for Distributed COM Application Development Using Visual Basic 6.0. CD-ROM INCLUDED CD-ROM contains thousands of lines of live code for Web, 3-tier, and 2-tier applicationsNincluding complete demonstration programs containing COM objects designed for easy reuse.

This official Microsoft training kit offers self-paced study and preparation for Exam 70-175, one of the core credits for MCSD certification. The CD-ROM contains hands-on lab exercises, demos, and complete sample applications.

Developing COM+ servers with COM, COM+, and .NET.

Barnaby describes how VB.NET developers can use the new .NET technologies to build fast, scalable, and robust distributed applications.

A hands-on resource combining Visual Basic programming with COM+ programming. In addition to learning Visual Basic, readers learn how to administer COM+ components and provide security. They also learn how COM+ can be used to solve problems of Enterprise Application Integration.

Featuring nearly fifty rules for best practice, EFFECTIVE VISUAL BASIC gives the working programmer concrete guidelines for des Featuring nearly fifty rules for best practice, EFFECTIVE VISUAL BASIC gives the working programmer concrete guidelines for designing better systems and writing better code. Whether the focus is COM, databases, or distributed systems using MTS and COM+, this book offers proven, timeless solutions derived from the authors' years of experience consulting and training in the VB arena. EFFECTIVE VISUAL BASIC addresses general practices, from defensive programming to error handling and object-oriented design. In addition, it covers the critical issues in working with COM: interfaces, compatibility, and class design. Rules for building multi-tier applications are followed by a section on best practices for programming the Web. This book also addresses databases and effective data access, among the most important uses of VB. Highlights include: *Sound programming practices and object-oriented design principles, as applicable in VB.NET as in VB6 *Writing code that runs correctly in both MTS and COM+ environments *Improving scalability by not necessarily configurin
