Remoting under NetCF

[Guest]

Is Remoting supported under .NET Compact Framework? If so is there an article
or articles that cover the limitations of Remoting under .NET Compact
Framework.

For one thing MarshalByRefObject. InitializeLifetimeService() is not in the
reduced set of functionality in .NETCf.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Remoting is not a part of NetCF. Conceptually the CE platform is not seen
as remoting target. The opposite direction (CE to Desktop) is achieved via
web services

So if I have a PDA app that needs to hit a service on another machine I will
have to use web services? I would like my application to not need IIS to
work if possible.

Why would you like to avoid IIS?

Probebly because it can be a hastle for non-technical users to install IIS
if it is not present.

You should bear in mind that IIS offers security, whereas remoting hosted in
something other than IIS would not have any security at all. Remoting even
desktop side should be used with caution. (doesn't matter though as remoting
client is not supported in CF).

Thanks for the response, I just did not want to have to install extra pieces
to get my app to work. I think users get scared when 4 or 5 components have
to be running for something to work. Oh well, "When in Rome"
