About This Course

This five-day, instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to effectively build scalable, distributed applications that use Microsoft .NET Enterprise Services and the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Audience Profile

This course is intended for:

• Departmental developers who currently build client/server applications and large-scale solutions for departments inside a business.
• Consultants who work with developers to build client/server applications and large-scale solutions for businesses.
• Web developers who build Web-based applications requiring significant infrastructure support such as transactions, security, and pooling of resources.
• Line-of-business (LOB) application developers.

Prerequites

Before attending this course, students must have:

• Experience building assemblies by using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft Visual C#.
• Experience handling database transactions in program code.

In addition, it is recommended, but not required, that students have completed:

• Course 2349: Programming with the Microsoft .NET Framework (Microsoft Visual C# .NET).

At Course Completion

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Describe the history of server-based applications and describe the COM+ runtime architecture.
• Use attributes to configure an assembly as a COM+ application and create components that use just-in-time (JIT) activation and are synchronized.
• Create data access components that use Microsoft ADO.NET to retrieve or update data in a database.
• Create transactional components.
• Help protect an enterprise application by using COM+ services role-based security.
• Manage state in JIT activated components.
• Create compensating resource managers to enable transactional support for resources lacking a resource manager.
• Use loosely coupled events to send notifications to other applications.
• Create queued components.
• Debug COM+ applications and describe common application-failure scenarios and how to solve these failures.
• Create scripts for managing deployment and administration.
• Use the enhancements provided by COM+ version 1.5 to improve the scalability, availability, and manageability of COM+ applications and use COM+ features such as services without components (SWCs), bring your own transaction (BYOT), and Phase Zero notification in applications.
