Suppose I configure a class with object pooling, minpoolsize=5 and
maxpoolsize=20.
When my client calls the component for the first time, will COM+ creates 5
instances of my component in advance?

Hi, I have a certain problem & looking for some suggestion please:
1. I created DLL (Class Libraries Managed code)using VB.NET which are
deployed onto the client.
2. If the client encounters a problem, in order for them to realize if

I am currently working with a C# solution within COM+ with an Oracle
9.2.0.3 backend.
I have the following questions.
1.) Should there be one Oracle Session per COM+ transaction?

First I am a COM+ newbie.

I want to use a serviced Component using JITA and Object Pooling as a server
activated remoting component, as ServicedComponent inherits

I have developed a simple COM+ Component that I?ve enabled Object Pooling

I was wondering if I can use static methods in a class that derives from the
ServicedComponent.
The expected callers of my class will be only other .NET clients and the
static methods require COM+ services such as support for automatic
