A component is an object that encapsulates both data and code, and provides a well-specified set of publicly available services. Components encapsulate the business logic in your ASP applications. You can create your own components or buy them "off the shelf." Once you have a component, you can reuse it wherever you need it. You can develop components using C++ or Java.
