VB Forum / COM / October 2003

Hi all,

We are developing COM+ business layer using Visual Basic 6.0 ActiveX Dll.
We have few doubts or please suggest the best practice for the following
Scenario.

Client.dll consists MyClient.cls, MyView.cls, MyProfile.cls, MyEntity.cls
classes.

Except MyClient.cls every class is PublicNotCreatable and Uses transaction
is properties are  set.  Where MyClient.cls class is Muliuse and Requires
Transaction.  MyClient invokes MyClientView methods, MyClientView invokes
MyProfile so on.

My Question is every class implements ObjectControl control interface
methods such as Activate(),CanBePooled(),Deactivate().  But only MyClient
methods of Object Control was called not other class, Is it because of
publicnotCreatable

Another Question is

           Case 1

           Private mObjContext As COMSVCSLib.ObjectContext

Private Sub Class_Initialize()

                       Set mobjContext = GetObjectContext()

End Sub

Private Sub Class_Terminate()

                       'Cleanup code goes here.

           end sub

           Private Sub SomeMethod()

           If Success then

                       mobjContext.setComplete()

           else

                       mobjContext.setAbort()

           end if

end sub

           Case 2

           Private mObjContext As COMSVCSLib.ObjectContext

           Private Sub SomeMethod()

                       Set mobjContext = GetObjectContext()

           If Success then

                       mobjContext.setComplete()

           else

                       mobjContext.setAbort()

           end if

end sub

From the above cases, which are best and safe practices?

Thanks in Advance!
