Writing Serviced Components

A serviced component is the mechanism that enables COM+ services to be available to .NET Framework classes. This section describes how to configure and register serviced components for access to COM+ services.

Just-in-Time (JIT) Activation, Synchronization, Object Pooling, Transactions, and Shared Property Management are examples of well-known COM+ services that are available for you to use. There are also other COM+ services, such as loosely coupled events, Queued Components, and role-based security, that you can use to write flexible, Web-based applications.

Note   You can modify any Common Language Specification (CLS)–compliant class to use COM+ services. The System.EnterpriseServices namespace provides custom attributes and classes for accessing these services from managed code.
