.NET Remoting

[boxim]

Hi all,

Just some queries re: remoting.

I've been asked to write an app where many people may simultaneously open it
and share information. Sounds simple enough, and normally I'd use a
database, client app and web services for providing the data - however,

it needs to be able to share data realtime, like make alerts appear when
other users enter data etc and it cant be a peer-to-peer app as the server
needs to hold all the data. The obvious way would be to write it as a
network client app, monitoring an ip address and port for data and sending
data likewise - however,

I was thinking about using remoting to do this, there are obvious benefits
to doing this, although i was wondering on how the server actually running
the remoted processes would handle having say lots of concurrent
connections, say a 1000.

I've written very basic remoting app, just really to get to know how to
start a app that uses it, but have very little knowledge of it's
capabilities when it comes to writing an app that could have so many
clients.

can anyone give me any pointers?

TIA

Sam Martin
