Professional MTS and MSMQ Programming with VB and ASP

Microsoft are promoting their Distributed interNet Architecture (DNA) as a platform for developing fully distributed applications, but it has taken a while to get the DNA message across. The difficulty was in trying to push DNA as a solution in itself, rather that pushing the ideas that make it good, client/server applications~Client transparency~Distributed applications~Fully transactional~Fault tolerant~The core of DNA is the use of business objects in a middle tier of the application, and this is supported by two new Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS), which is a component manager offering full transaction support; and Microsoft Message Queue Server (MSMQ), which provides the fault-tolerance required in distributed application. Together, these make it simple to build into the DNA dream.
