Professional C# 2005 with .NET 3.0
Highlights
Enterprise Services is the name of the Microsoft application server technology that offers services for distributed solutions. Enterprise Services is based on the COM+ technology that has already been in use for many years. However, instead of wrapping .NET objects as COM objects to use these services, .NET offers extensions for .NET components to take direct advantage of these services. With .NET you get easy access to COM+ services for .NET components.
Enterprise Services also has a great integration story with WCF. You can use a tool to automatically create a WCF service front end to a serviced component, and you can invoke a WCF service from a COM+ client.
