Remoting Example on MSDN site - some help understanding it

[Krish]

I am working the examples given at the following location (msdn site)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tml/cpconcompilingrunningbasicapplication.asp

I have the Listener running, I have the client running, How do I
understand
this example, The listener is listening to what. usually isn;t it the
client that is the listener, and server publishes data.

Any inputs on how to understand this example or what it is doing
greatly appreciated.

Thanks

In a remoting scenario you have a "host" for your remotable object. This
could be IIS or any other application such a console application or a
windows servicem listening on a pre defined tcp port.

When the client create a new instance of a remote object, the .NET
Framework checks the configuration settings for the application, and
determins how to retreive an instance of the object.

It find the information, and forwards the call to the "host" which then
creates the correct object using the correct activation mode. This is a
simplified description on how the remoting scenario works.

Hope this helps,

Syntax concepts:

The Server is the Listener, because it's the one waiting for the 'query', or
the Request for information. If it wasn't listening, it could never answer.
Once the client makes it's request, the listener (server) will Respond with
the answer.
