Yes, you will write your pages in .aspx (ASP.NET) files. And hopefully
you'll use code-behind classes :-) for logic.
Business logic can just go into what are called 'Component's, these are the
objects you'll want to create in your project. These usually go in the /bin
folder of your app (only your app sees them). Or you can add them into the
global cache for use by other apps, even VB.NET apps, etc.. But if the
code's only for you, then that makes the most sense.
I don't see a need right now for using COM+, unless you need some of its
management services (transactions, etc.). Or if you want to expose your
component for use by some COM object. From what I can see, you should never
hear the word 'COM' again!
Yes, I picture web services as used by other apps, but you can see how
components let other managed apps run the same code. Web services' power
comes in the lightweight and standards-based protocol it uses, and I picture
mainly for 'disparate' systems sharing information (or on separate
machines). IMHO, of course!
