COM+ Services in VB6:
If you write applications used by more than one user at the same time, you need COM+ services! All the plumbing you need for transactions, object pooling, multi-threading, security, and more is here. We’ll have a detailed look at how these services are being used today in Visual Basic 6.

COM+ Services in .NET:
Come explore the System.EnterpriseServices namespace of the .NET Framework. We’ll look at how everything we have seen so far is now done using VB.NET. We will look at how to expose existing COM+ Applications as web services. We’ll also review the significant enhancements that are coming in COM+ Services with the release of Windows .NET Server.
