Building Transactional Components

[This product will work only on Windows NT 4.0 versions and earlier. For Windows 2000 and later, see COM+ (Component Services).]

This section introduces transactional components and the benefits of running components within the same transaction.

	Scenario: Composing Work from Multiple Components Under the Same Transaction Add new functionality to transfer money between accounts by adding a new component, MoveMoney, which uses the existing Account component.
	Creating the MoveMoney Component Use the CreateInstance method to run the MoveMoney and Account components within the same transaction.
	Monitoring Transactions Use the Bank client to run your components, and use the Microsoft Transaction Server Explorer to monitor transactions.
	Application Design Notes: Using Context and Transactions Using transactional components provides atomicity and simplified error recovery.
