How can I...

[CQL90]

Hi All,

Thanks you all in advance. Any help is deeply appreciated. I live in
California and I would like to communicate with the server which locate in
Houston, Texas and query data from that server. How can I do it? What
technology should I choose( .net socket, Remoting, WebService )? Take care
and have a nice day...

It depends of the type of communication you require:
1) If High performance is require (e.g. streaming media over the net) I would suggest you to NOT to use .NET (managed) as the managed sockets performance is about 0.7 of the unmanaged windosck dll, SOoo, in case high performance is required you should better use unmanaged code with winsock DLL, you can consider using TDI but this will require much more time to learn and much more time to develop with as TDI development is done in the kernel...
2) If you goal is to access a DB brows a site or send/receive some messages from a remote server I would suggest to use the .NET framework, you may consider the usage of Remoting/WebServices depends of what you are trying to achieve...

Hope this helps...
