Passing events to the client using DCOM (MTS)

[Shaun]

Hi all,

I have a server component that does some processing. This processing takes
some time, and I would like to let the client app know what the server component
is doing - basically a status/progress update.

I find that using the normal Dim WithEvents statement on the client doesn't
work. Am I doing something wrong, can it be done? Please let me know. It
can't be too difficult.

Thanks
Shaun

A couple of different ways to handle this. One is COM+ Events Service and the other is Microsoft
