Hi
My company are just about to launch a massive project and I am going to have
the job of working on web based pages which perform billing and other tasks.
I thought this would be the sort of application which could benifit from
some of the features of "enterprise"/COM+ solutions such as connection
pooling and transactions. The thing is that i only have a very high level
understanding of COM+ and the conepts and would like to get a good book or
web resource where i can get up to a decent level of understanding and can
refer back to while i am doing the work. We intend to write the new system
in C# so it would be good if i could get a book which has examples in that`.
Any suggestions would be greatly received.
Thanks
Ben

The best book in this domain is still Tim Ewald's fantastinc "Transactional
COM+" book. It's all about unmanaged code, but the concepts explained there
completely map to the System.EnterpriseServices stuff and its an amazing
book.
To completent it, you can pick up a copy of Christian Nagel's "Enterprise
Services with the .NET Framework" book, which is actually focused on managed
code. I haven't read it myself, but I've heard plenty of good things about
it.

Ben,
I've just recently finished reading Christian Nagel's new book "Enterprise Services with the .NET Framework" and definitely recommend it. If you're already familiar with COM+ or Enterprise Services or you're completely new to them, it will be of great benefit to you.
