SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services object model from within a serviced component to update or to modify an item in a Windows SharePoint Services Web site, the item is not updated or modified. You do not receive any error messages that notify you that the changes were not applied to the item.

For example, if you use the Windows SharePoint Services object model from within a serviced component to apply a theme or to change a title, the theme is not applied and the title is not changed.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Windows SharePoint Services object model calls are not supported from a COM+ component.

In Windows SharePoint Services, an operation such as applying a theme does not involve a single transaction. The operation cannot be transacted. You cannot transact Windows SharePoint Services object model calls from COM+.
