Component Services (COM+)

COM+, also known as Component Services, is the next-generation Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). COM+ provides services and resource management to applications including role-based security, object pooling, just-in-time activation, transaction support, and coordination.

Serviced Components are classes that are created by C# or other .NET-aware compilers and use COM+ services. A set of serviced components is referred to as a COM+ application.
