Loosely Coupled Events With COM
By:
Last updated: Monday, October 6, 2025
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2000 - Spring, Markus Egger Talks Tech
Markus Egger introduces the COM+ Event Service as a flexible, loosely coupled alternative to traditional COM events, enabling publishers and subscribers to be linked administratively rather than by compile-time code. He explains how events (business events) can be published without subscribers needing to be running, thanks to COM+ subscriptions and on-demand instantiation, and shows how event filtering enhances scalability and relevance. Through a humorous VB example (wife/husband), he demonstrates setup, binding, and practical benefits, and gestures toward queued events as a future enhancement.
