Working with the COM+ admin objects under .NET/C#

/*

	<? Copyright Ranjeet Chakraborty 29/05/2001 ranjeetc@hotmail.com ?> 
	A basic C# Component that provides 2 helper classes 
	dispCOMWrapper --> Helper class that uses reflection to make late bound calls on a component's default interface.
	COMPlusAdminHelper --> Wraps the functionality that talks to the COM+ Admin objects, not all of its methods are 
				used though. Viz: deleteComPlusApp which could delete an app from your system given the 
				app's name as a parameter.(USE with extreme caution !)
