Remarks
The MicroPipe object does not explicitly use Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). To use transactions, mark the page as transacted or use the standard MtsTxPipline object. Distributed transactions have no meaning in the MicroPipe object because the object contains a single component.
Many pipeline components use configuration information in addition to the Context and Order dictionaries. Two common ways of passing this information to the component are:
To create a dictionary and pass the dictionary to the component.
To set individual or multiple properties directly.
The first method applies only to pipeline components that implement the IPipelineComponentAdmin interface. The second is common for components written in Microsoft Visual Basic, which usually do not implement the IPipelineComponentAdmin interface.
