The developer's guide to VB objects and components!

Visual Basic Object and Component Handbook is the resource for building VB6 objects and components—the key to successful large-scale VB development! Whether you're developing for the enterprise, the Web, or both, Peter Vogel gives you the real-world insight and industrial-strength code you need to get results.

Start with a close look at the issues involved with building objects and their interfaces using VB6—including important design and maintenance tradeoffs you must know about up front. Next, learn all the fundamentals: choosing and implementing methods, properties, and events; building collections; combining objects into components; and more.

Then, master every key object technology Microsoft provides for distributed development, including the Component Object Model (COM), Active Server Pages (ASP), and the Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). Learn how to create objects that pass data to ActiveX Data Objects; build components that work with Microsoft Transaction Server—even work with Windows 2000 COM+ Services.
