What is .NET Remoting ?.

Hi

NET remoting is replacement of DCOM. Using .NET remoting you can make remote object calls which lie in different Application Domains. As the remote objects run indifferent process client calling the remote object can not call it directly. So the client uses a proxy which looks like a real object. When client wants to make method call on the remote object it uses proxy for it. These method calls are called as “Messages”. Messages are serialized using “formatter” class and sent to client “channel”. Client Channel communicates with Server Channel. Server Channel uses as formatter to deserialize the message and sends to the remote object.

.NET Remoting is an enabler for application communication. It is a generic system for different applications to use to communicate with one another. .NET objects are exposed to remote processes, thus allowing interprocess communication. The applications can be located on the same computer, different computers on the same network, or even computers across separate networks.

is it related to .net webservice?

Hi mani,
Dot net remoting has some relation with Web services... With the advent of .NET and the .NET Framework, Microsoft introduced a set of new technologies in the form of Web services and .NET remoting. .NET remoting and ASP.NET Web services are powerful technologies that provide a suitable framework for developing distributed applications. It is important to understand how both technologies work and then choose the one that is right for your application.

The Web services technology enables cross-platform integration by using HTTP, XML and SOAP for communication thereby enabling true business-to-business application integrations across firewalls. Because Web services rely on industry standards to expose application functionality on the Internet, they are independent of programming language, platform and device.

Remoting is .a technology that allows programs and software components to interact across application domains, processes, and machine boundaries. This enables your applications to take advantage of remote resources in a networked environment.

Both Web services and remoting support developing distributed applications and application integration, but you need to consider how they differ before choosing one implementation over the other.

hope u got some idea about webservice and dot net relations....
