Synopsis
This work starts by examining why we need to be able to implement and distribute code objects, and looks at the various systems of distribution that currently exist. The book then narrows the focus down to sharing data and functionality on Windows. This leads into an examination of COM, and from there, logically, to DCOM. It shows how DCOM builds on the foundations of COM and RPC. The reader should get to grips with the essentials of DCOM programming and build on this base with thorough coverage of MIDL, Microsoft's Interface Definition Language. MIDL allows one to define your interfaces, create Type Libraries and provide marshaling support. All of these topics are covered in depth and backed up with strong code examples written using the latest tools. The latter half of the book looks at the design and implementation of distributed applications. Each chapter covers a topic of prime importance to DCOM programmers. Security is fully explained, starting with the NT security model and exploring how it relates to DCOM. The book then shows how to write your DCOM servers as NT services, before being drawn into the murky world of multithreaded applications.

From the Publisher
This book is for experienced C++ programmers who want to understand DCOM or further their knowledge of COM. Knowledge of Windows programming is essential, while knowledge of MFC is preferable. Code samples use Visual C++ 5, MFC and ATL.
From the Author
A thorough explanation of DCOM and developing DCOM objects
DCOM is more than just "COM with a longer wire", when Microsoft released DCOM they added to COM object security, a new threading model and the ability of implementing COM objects in NT services and they allowed you to activate an object on another machine. In my book I cover all these topics with copius code written in C++ with ATL 2.1, MFC 4.2 and VB 5.0. Other topics include: Comparison with other distribution methods (CORBA, DCE RPC, RMI, JavaIDL). Full explanation of IDL and how to use MIDL. The NT Security model and how to use it. How to write an NT service. Full description of the NT Event Log. Threads in Win32 and COM. Review of Microsoft Transaction Server.
