Remoting help

[tomb]

This is my first remoting projct, and the documentation and samples I
have found don't do much to make clear how to approach this structure.
Everything I have found shows only a small piece of the concept.

Could someone please show me an example of how to remotely instantiate
an activex object that is on a lan server? Currently it resides in a
share folder on the server. I want the client application to have full
control of the object.

I think if I can see a clear example of how this works, when I move it
IIS I'll be able to figure out the necessary changes. Unless, of
course, you feel an urge to share that also!

Thank you in advance.

Hello Tom ,


maybe you would bether explain in more depth what you exactly want to do
standard style of remoting is initiate object , do your stuff and dispose
the remote object
another aproach would be a Singleton architecture , where when the lease
expires the object is disposed ( or you give a null return in the overrides
,method and it will run as long as the system is up, however this is sort
of a small hack )

You talk about a activex component , do you mean a Activex component should
be started remotely and must comunicate through the remoting channel to a
connected client ? , or is it fire and forget ? or , or ......

by the way did you know there is a Group dedicated to remoting ?
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.remoting and did you know that starting
off VS 2005
WCF is another possibility ( AFAIK remoting is getting fased out in favor
of WCF )

Hope to have given you some ideas

I did not know there was a remoting group. Thanks, I'll take this
there, and thanks also for the other points to consider. This was a big
help.
