answer to interview question

[Transcend]

Hi guys

I was given this as an example interview question and was wondering if someone could help me out.
"Let's say I have an existing vb 6 application that utilizes windows 2000 com+ transaction services. How would approach migrating this application to .Net."

Now I don't know a lot about com+ and if .net would be able to use the existing com+ components or not.

Does anyone out there know what the question means here?

hmmmm that question read at face value sounds a little silly.

When I say what does it mean, I mean would you rewrite the vb code in .net and rewrite the com+ components as well and create them as assemblies?

:S

Transcend,

Let's say I'm a PM who doesn't know how to interview programmers so I pick a question out of an MCSE course?

Sorry, but I laugh when I see these because every time when it comes down to dollars and cents, the pure answer tends to go out the window in favor of practicality.

But I'll let the experts give you the real answer. Sorry, couldn't help myself...

older and (maybe) wiser...

I would rewrite the part of the application that is causing the most pain. Maybe it's the front end, or maybe it's one of the COM+ components (called a "EnterpriseServices" component in .NET).
