Hopefully a quick question, I have a remoting app that works fine on the dev platform (XP SP1A) but trips up on the production platform (2003 Server). I have a well known singleton type + delegate type + event. Clients can hook into events in the usual way. So my client code looks like.....more >>

What's the best way to get the local IP address and domain name? Right now I 'm using the following to get the domain name: string local_domain_name = System.Environment.UserDomainName; And the following to get the local IP address: IPAddress local_ip_address = Dns.Resolve( Syst...more >>

Hi, Consider two nodes, A and B. B is the 'server' and A is the 'client'. The client has a class definition with a number of methods. One of the methods is called Execute(). B does not have the class. Only A has the class. Is it possible to migrate the assembly or class defn from A to B ... ha...more >>

I have a project wich uses remoting. I have read the book ".net remoting" from MS press and I decided to use the same architecture as described in chapter 3. I have a caching dataset wich contains all the data in a SQL server and is filled on startup of the program.. When something in the cli...more >>

If I have a class that inherits from a typed dataset, how do I serialize it? i.e. all the serialisation functionality is protected at the typed dataset level and therefore I can not override any of the methods. For example, I can not override GetObjectData to put my other properties in the info ...more >>

I would like to hear some opinions on what the best way to host a remote object is. I've got a small, inquiry-only (well mostly inquiry) app. Taking advice from CodeMonkey (thank you) I am using SingleCall objects. I'm hosting my remote DLL in IIS; I chose IIS because it was there already. Gi...more >>

Hi, When .NET Remoting is implemented using the HTTP Channel and the SOAP Formatter, is the .NET Framework required on the client and the server? In other words, can a .NET Remoting client running Windows XP communicate with a non-Windows server that is not running the .NET Framework? I've ...more >>

I want to host a remote component that will be used by multiple applications. Is there a way on the remote host to identify what application is calling the component? I'm sure there is something simple as I would guess that CAS has to know to allow calls so what's the code look like? eAn...more >>

Hi, I have a MarshalByValue class which has a member that is of type System.Drawing.Icon. Because the Icon inherits from MarshalByRefObject, when clients that receive an instance of my class that has been marshalled, the Icon property is actually an ObjRef object. I'd like to force the Icon...more >>

Would I use remoting to achieve the equivalent of the Java Web Start, or am I getting confused? I want to be able to launch a windows forms app from a web page and then load the objects/dlls from the server down to the client. I would also prefer to use web services too. Regards Mike ...more >>

I created a simple remoting application where remote object is a simple object returning a dataset. I tried to access it from a different machine but I got a security error. I know I have to do some security related stuff but am not able to figure out what. I am using tcp channel . could someon...more >>

I've been skimming several articles about Remoting. I know remoting is the best fit for our needs (no firewall, .NET on both ends, etc.), but I can't figure out if I should use client-activated objects or SingleCall objects. I've read that client-activated is the most similar to DCOM. No articl...more >>

My client is in a DMZ trying to connect to a asp.net hosted remoting app. Inside the firewall it works and my client has this config file: <client url="https://servername/test/HelloWorldObject3" displayName="MyApplication"> <activated type="HelloWorldObject3.Hello, HelloWorldObject3" /...more >>

I have based my application on the "VB.NET How-To: Remoting" sample code. I copied the Customer client and server, and created one which stored some credentials in an ArrayList. The Customer client was retained in the code, and still works. However, the new Credentials client acts like a Single...more >>

When I configure tcp channel in the code my app. works fine: SERVER: TcpChannel chanTcp = new TcpChannel(65106); ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(chanTcp); Assembly assem = Assembly.Load("ServerClassFactory"); Type ClassFactoryType = assem.GetType("ServerClassFactory.ClassFacto...more >>

Hi, I'm developping a distributed application where a client app calls some methods on a remote .NET remoting object. For some reasons, i have to host that object within a Windows service (not IIS) using a TCP channel and i can therefore not use the authentification features of IIS (this was ...more >>

Hi! I have a problem bothering me for a few days. I have a distributed application working very well on .Net Framework 1.0 (IIS hosted) for a while. But, now I got an issue to transfer it to Framework 1.1 because new IIS 6.0 doesn't support Framework 1.0 within new isolation level. Then I bu...more >>

I have read this article. http://www.ingorammer.com/RemotingFAQ/CAOS_INTERNET_FIREWALL.html I have couple of question ? Do you make the modifications on the client configuration file? I assumed yes. On the machineName Attribute. can I put a Ip address ? And If I make the changes do I nee...more >>

In my remoting architecture, the callbacks are done by inheriting the common class that is known to both client and server. The callbacks work OK until we keep calling the method of remote object. However, when the clients are idle for more than 5 minutes, the callback doesn't get fired...more >>

Hi, I am writing a client-server application with .NET Remoting and everything was working fine until I introduced the System.Drawing namespace into my dll component. Now when I try to run soapsuds.exe to generate the metadata only dll for the client, I recieve the following error: e...more >>

Hi, I want to pass an object by ref to a method of a server activated object, but keep getting the error: "Because of security restrictions, the type System.Runtime.Remoting.ObjRef cannot be accessed" anyone know why this is? thanks, Richard Fenn...more >>

We are after the best way to pass data from an sql database over remoting. We were looking at a datatable approach as it inherits from the MarshalByRef class. Or we could write our own "data" class to do something similar. We want speed and overall performance for our data requests. I ...more >>

We are developing a C# application that will be running primarily on LANs (TCP/IP) but will also run on WANS (TCP/IP or HTTPS for internet connections). The application performs standard database select, insert and update operatons via stored procedures. Most select queries return approx 20->...more >>
