.NET and COM: The Complete Interoperability Guide: Amazon.ca: Adam Nathan: Books

Product Description

<> The focus of the book is on COM Interoperability (since it's a much larger subject), and the heart of the discussion is broken down into four parts:

Using COM Components Within the .NET Framework
Using .NET Framework Components from COM
Designing Good .NET Framework Components for COM Clients
Designing Good COM Components for .NET Framework Clients

The scope of the book is just about everything related to using "unmanaged code" in the .NET Framework. Technologies built on top of COM Interoperability are also covered-Interoperability of Windows Forms Controls and ActiveX controls, Interoperability with COM+, and Interoperability with Distributed COM (DCOM). Although Platform Invocation Services is a separate technology from COM Interoperability, there are many areas of overlap, so including in the book is a natural fit. All of these technologies are a core part of the Common Language Runtime and .NET Framework, and will likely be used not only as the path of migration for existing software projects, but for brand new software development for the next several years.

This product consists of of two volume set.

If you want to write in c# this book is for you. The author is very verbose.

This review is from: .NET and COM: The Complete Interoperability Guide (Paperback)

This is a great book that covers .Net Interop. It covers Interop more in debth compared to other books that I have read. All the ideas covered apply to Visual Studio 2002 and as well as Visual Studio 2003. The book is well layed out and information is easy to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't believe it!, Jan 23 2003

This review is from: .NET and COM: The Complete Interoperability Guide (Paperback)

I can't believe it! It is awsome book which I haven't seen any of COM book better than this before. I am not a professional programmer but after reading this book, I feel so good about my knowledge in windows programming and specially in the NET FRAME WORK. I bought a lots of Dot net books and still confusing about this new technology. But the ".NET and COM" is totally different. It clearly explains everything and giving the reader a really good concept. Eventhough, I haven't finished the book yet, but I can give the author 5 stars rate. Luckily, I bought this book with a cheap price and I 've got a huge information about COM and NET. I hope my future will get better cause of those information. Buy this book and buy "Applied the Net frame work" of Jeffrey Richter, you will not regret for what you do.
